Which would you rather see?

[HoneyBadger]

I guess, since NBC had too many commercials, there is a solution to this problem....



Choose wisely my friends.

 

[Zeck]

I will take all the Crispy Colonel Sanders and Joey Logano slowly drinking a Coca-Cola commericals there are to not get a caution clock.

 

[Jeffrey00]

Caution clock. I am not afraid of change and trying something different. If caution clock means I can watch more green flag racing then so be it.

 

[RacerrecaR]

This was honestly a VERY difficult decision. I chose commercials because as a last resort, I could always switch to the radio during the tv commercial breaks (which I did for last night's race).

 

[Yogisd1]

I'm sorry, I can't abide by either. But if you held a box cutter to my... fin? I would have to go with the caution clock.

 

[hawg dawg]

ain't nuthin changin commercial time ....already baked into cake .....w/ big tv deal .

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Commercials. I don't see them at the track. (Maybe this is a NASCAR conspiracy to put more butts in the seats by making the experience far superior to watching at home? )

When NBC did use side-by-side, it was in a bigger frame than Fox's or NBC's own Indy coverage. If they'd increase that window by another 20%, I wouldn't care if they ran ads continuously. Like RacerrecaR said, I can always mute and listen to MRN.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Oh, and Andy, I wish you'd have offered options for 'Pay per view' and 'Continuous side-by-side'.

 

[Jas61]

I'd rather watch an hour of back to back commercials than endure one race with the caution clock.

Who said your going to get green flag racing? The caution clock is only going to screw the leader and cut out green flag pit stops.

 

[Johali]

Commercials. I have raceview and watch and listen through the commercials. The egg timers are an insult to the fans and drivers.

 

[ToyYoda]

Doesn't matter how I vote, we'll be dealing with both in the TBD Cup series soon.

 

[Bowtie3]

I picked caution clock. That's only if they make it a lot longer than 20 minutes. In the Cup series it would totally change strategy. I love races with two or three different pit strategies going on. Make it like 45-60 minutes. I'd be ok with that. Make it mandatory that there would be no commercials during green flag runs.

 

[Jas61]

The caution clock is only going to screw the leader and cut out green flag pit stops.

And more importantly, take it with any form of race strategy as well. Makes the position of crew chief obsolete, for all practical purposes.

 

[R Clarence]

Make it mandatory that there would be no commercials during green flag runs.

People think there are too many questionable cautions now.

Implement that 'n Hoots 'n Company would wear the yellow light switch out before half way.

I record every race on DVR and usually watch with a slight time delay. My typical commercial break...

"I'm Crispy Colonel San... people not actors... You named it Br... doctor if it lasts over 4 hours... military grade alum... And the green flag is in the air!"

No problem.

No problem.

I couldn't participate in the poll as the question essentially was "would you like a left or right broken leg?" The VCR and now DVR are great tools to get rid of unwanted clutter in TV broadcasts as who wants to watch a 42 minute program that takes 60 minutes to view factoring in commercials and other non essentials?

 

[SlicedBread22]

Well wouldnt one come with the other.. I mean.. they put in a caution clock they're going to have a commercial every time.. no?

 

[BOWTIE GUY]

if you have a caution clock, is it really racing?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

if you have a caution clock, is it really racing?

Sure. There are any number of fomats that feature scheduled stops. However, when they restart, the pre-break interval between competitors is maintained.

I'll also answer the question you probably meant to ask: "... is it really NASCAR racing?" No, of course not.

but you know before hand when the stops will be. like when the trucks started. I watch fewer and fewer races already, will not be a fan of the caution clock.

Some people consider the Snowball Derby to be racing. It has a caution clock and has had it for a while.

But I really dislike the caution clock for Nascar.
