Tasca embarrasses FOX

[Magnethead]

If anybody has seen the new IndyCar on Fox commercials, they are branding it as "The fastest motorsports". And Bob Tasca took that issue up during his first round interview this morning.

Considering FOX was sued for almost a billion dollars for lying and lost and had to pay, I had no problem before Taska said what he said. I wondered how many classes going down in speed at drag racing are still faster then Indycar myself.

335 mph is indeed faster than 220 mph.

NHRA should be grateful to Fox I'm sure that NFL NASCAR and now Indycar get much higher ratings I can't knock FOX for promoting other shows

So I did some reading up. It turns out this was premeditated. At the Warm-Up race in Bradenton, alot of people were wearing black shirts with #NHRASpeedCheck on them, and the NHRA and several teams were using it on social media since that weekend. It makes me wonder if FOX did this as an intentional publicity stunt.

I saw Tasca go off on Fox Sunday after his run and enjoyed it. I'm a fan of Indycar and drag racing so just enjoyed it as some entertainment.

This is the part that should piss NASCAR and NHRA off. FOX cares about IndyCar. They don't give two ****s about the other motorsports properties they have.

Personally, I wish NHRA was on ESPN2 again. With ESPN+ being a thing, you can throw live coverage there too.
