You were right to complain about that.
I know some people who live south of Nashville that had the same problem with whatever local network it was on.
People complained so loud that everytime it has happened since then the network shows a picture in picture during the news with the race.

Damn - forgot about those east coast guys.
Glad I got a couple extra hours to play with on the west coast.

Sorry, man.
You've gave hints of your distaste of Yeley and I've missed why.
I'd like to know someday. Hate to hear about a hometown boy done good not representing my state well.

No distaate in general I despise ALL start and parks.And he did have the chance of a lifetime in the 18car, and he did not get it done.Just facts there, no bias.
 
The Fox I get is from Rochester, NY and they're still with the race broadcast.

I can't argue with that.
I thought maybe he brushed some kid off at an autograph session or something.
 
Race control just called drivers to their cars, according to NASCAR.com live blog. Fox Milwaukee affiliate talking about high school lacrosse.
 
Okay, my favorite show comes on at 8pm. The way I see it, this race has 1 hour and 17 minutes to reach it's conclusion.
 
Not doing any cartwheels until that green flag waves.
But more optimistic than I was moments ago.
I will say that.

I was shocked when they didn't return to the race. I was even more shocked when they extended the race and didn't bother putting the race on one of their digital sub stations.

In the era of digital television where every local channel has at least one (usually two or three) sub channels, and every broadcast net has a cable sports network and multiple other networks, there's NO excuse for any network to miss the end of a race. It was forgivable in the 1990s and early 2000s.

I certainly hope racer8 - these tornados come across and kill a few people all the time - if they ain't got enough sense to get in their basement and watch their big screen down there - is it my fault?

Let's Go Racin Boyz!!!

(joking of course)
 
Will any previously wrecked cars come out after the red? I mean - yes - you cannot technically work on your car - but can't you look at it and pre-fabricate parts that you can stick on in a hurry once it goes green again?

Just asking.

They probably have all the parts they need but Nascar will not let them repair anything until the race starts.
 
Crowd is pumped - most of em are just getting through the "sober up cause of rain" and restart the juice. I wouldn't advise going in for an oil change in Alabama/West GA tomorrow :p
