I dont care who has it as long as its on.
Skys coverage was pants but like you said was geared heavily towards noobs. I did find Keith a irratating git at times, why have a guy like that hosting NASCAR?, he knows eff all. Was intresting seeing his enthusiasmfor the sport grow though over the 2 yrs so i tip my hat to him for that.
And the endless questions like "why do cars have wheels?" got up my nose. I think the American coverage is pretty great. compare NASCAR to F1, F1 dont really try to explain things to viewers (has improved lately on the BBC) with things like the cut away car and the VT's showing what happens when an engine blows etc.

Jimmie Johnson Poll
For what it's worth, in the bottom right hand corner of Sky's Motorsport website (http://www.skysports.com/motorsport) there is a poll on whether JJ will win his fifth Sprint Cup Championship in a row.
Maybe they will be measuring the response to this to understand more about the size of the UK NASCAR fanbase.
May be worthwhile going on there to vote

I totally understand why some hard core fans of NASCAR would hate Sky's coverage, but as a newbie to the sport 18 months ago, I have enjoyed the coverage and helped me understand (a wee bit anyway) NASCAR.
I'm glad we will see the Daytona 500, and pray that we will get live NASCAR coverage from somewhere on TV for the rest of the season.I aim to live forever - so far so good...

it doesnt make sense why sky would want the daytona 500 when it would take up 90% of what sky would of paid for the whole season its one of the most expensive races in the world

Sky suck big time,

Remember the first few moments from the studio in 2008, carping on how great Dario Franrubbish was, and how we all wanted to watch him win the cup. Like NOT, me for one will not miss them.- :spinhead: Oh he turned him !!!
