Didn't wait up last night to watch.
Let Sky+ record it, and watched it tonight.
Was difficult not to go into auto pilot and look at NASCAR.COM at lunch today, otherwise that would have ruined the result for me.
The show was longer than the advertised two n' half hours, so maybe a few emails from us to SKY Sports must have worked. Did seem odd missing the adverts, but overall I enjoyed the coverage. No inane comments from the UK studio team, just the US commentary all the way through, Darrell voice was quite amusing, strange not to hear him yelling every five minutes.
Anyways, back to live-feed in two weeks at the other half-miler.
Still glad it is on SKY, less recording hassle, better pic, better sound.
Ouch, thats a DNF in the pick em's. Childress Racing 1-2-3, where did that come from- :spinhead: Oh he turned him !!!

If people don't watch it on sky, the coverage will get worse. Look at the effect everybody cancelling NASN had!!

Down Here I pay AUS$110 a month to watch NASCAR on Foxtel and I used to get all three series. Now a 'free-to-air' station has bought the rights to the Nationwide Series and is broadcasting it on a HD exclusive channel. I have to go out and get a AUS$200 HD tuner for my TV so I can watch (I can't bear to miss the road races) and I'm freakin' miffed about it!

It's only money and it's worth it for all the other things you can watch now

Yeah, I know. I tried telling myself thatI didn't need to see the Nationwide races but that lasted about a week and a half.

saddens me to see the empty stands at Nationwide and Trucks - we really enjoyed those races when we went to Charlotte last year

on the subject of TV I'm getting rid of Setanta- it's unlikely I'll get to watch enough Nationwide races to make it worth keeping, and they've lost the BTCC as well so there's little point in paying £9 a month- and NASCAR Now seems to be on less as well

choices , choices
in this april's sky sports mag that has just arrived, for 27th april i have to make a choice.... watch live nascar at 7:00pm on ss2 or irl at 7:00pm on ss2. hang on a mo, that's the same time and channel i hear you say. perhaps we're going to get picture in picture or more like they've cocked up and as normal haven't proof read what they've written before printing it.
Hear the thunder, feel the power.

As we get into the season, hopefully the more people who watch the races Sky will give us priority. Sky only care about ratings, and for that reason will always go with the sport that brings in more viewers because it gives them more revenue.
Great speeds. Did you miss WRC machinery on these roads?
