Where are the IRL commericals?
I have been watching ESPN for the last three weeks and have not seen one ad for the IRL.Don't they know the season starts next week.I know they are paying tons of money for NASCAR but they are paying for the IRL too.Don't they want good ratings for their races.I am so sick of the NASCAR is life commericals.As a open wheel fan this is unacceptable.How can open wheel racing grow without a TV partner that is willing to help?

Gee...no IRL commericials? Could it be that the IRL and Champ Car combined don't draw more viewers than a test pattern put up by accident in the middle of a NASCAR race? Listen, in case anyone has noticed, OW racing isn't a big deal with the networks anymore. Save the Indy 500, no one race in OW is drawing ratings that the networks get excited about....

But ABC/ESPN has a good amount of IRL/Indy 500 programming planned for most of May - from May 7th or so, I think it's everyday."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

We need "Belker" to convince them or bite their ankles.
Only a Hill Street Blues fan will understand that.
