The televised coverage of the race on ABC starts at the competition caution on lap 25. The entire pre-race show and the first 30 minutes of the race were lost to a college football game. ESPN is screwing NASCAR left, right, and center on their way out the door.<\/p>\n
FOX has been giving them a raw deal since switching from SPEED to FS1, cutting coverage to catch-it-when-you-can and much less coverage. I would’ve loved to have seen the Better Half Dash, but that’s something SPEED would’ve shown that FS1 doesn’t bother with. There was a race from Bristol, an old-timers race, that was a delight. We used to see the driver intros for Bristol and the Pit Crew Challenge. I know they lost sponsorship for the Pit Crew Challenge recently, so I at least understand that one, but it just seems the special shows for NASCAR fans are, in general, a thing of the past.<\/p>\n
I heard that my boy Byrnesy is taking a medical leave<\/a>. Get well Steve Byrnes.<\/p>\n Went to bed around halfway so I’ll have to watch a recording of the race I guess. I’ve read the news so I know who won which leaves me less interested in watching the race, but I am a bit curious about the fights afterward.<\/p>\n In NASCAR news this week:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The televised coverage of the race on ABC starts at the competition caution on lap 25.
