Exactly. As most of the locals know, as far as the tv news goes the only racing that exists is NASCAR. :(

There could be a very good reason for that, of course.....Quote:

Thinking about what Gordon Kirby has written on the failure of venue after venue, I doubt Baltimore will be on the schedule for very long. Sorry, I just cannot figure out how this event is going to make it past the first year, much less several years following this one.
You can start with channel 2 always pre empting Indycars for the sunday Orioles game or a Jack Lalane juicer commercial. 1 1/2 down.....Quote:

Pretty true except for the sunday night extra long spots. Ive been shocked the few times I have seen anyhting. I about fell over when I saw them cover the sponsor announcement with Simona. I had to check what channel I was watching.
I'm hoping Comcast will up the promotion and coverage on the local sprots network channels leading up to the race once the season starts since it will be on VERSUS. They usually promote events they are involved with pretty well. they really need to get all of the TV coverage within the same corporate family ASAP since neither is going to cross promote an event on the other network. Having races broadcast on competing networks is assenine.
