Abc/nascar

[SIXBANGR]

well I hope you all have ESPN2. I don't and they took the race off of ABC with about 30 laps to go. I just e mailed them and gave them a big thank you. I can't believe they think this was smart.

 

[Phatman]

I didn't know what happened??????
There was a red flag, I went to the kitchen for some pizza and a drink, came back and it was gone.

 

[ZEROLAG]

Hey they had to show America's Funniest Home videos, so the last laps of the race were unimportant!

 

[Heavy D]

Same result as always. 48 sits on pole, leads the most laps, wins race. Edwards is 141 points behind going into Homestead.

WTF was up with that? And "F" Jimmy Johnson, Lucky SOB

I got ESPN 2 but that is crap,Any other station would push off programing till it was over.
ABC definetly would if it was baseball or football.

 

[86george]

That was a dumb move by abc.I had to turn the radio on for the end of the race.Jimmy Johnson wins again.He's making it tough for those ford boys.

Do you really need 500 channels for NASCAR?

Sweet, left hand turns for 6 hours. Snore.

This is true, but CBS would go long for golf and not blink an eye, if boredom is the reason you pull the plug and go to the most braindead, Lowest Common Denominator show on television (AFV).

ABC needs to give up on NASCAR and let Fox handle it from now on, which will be the likely end result of doing this, so I'm glad they did it.

There needs to be a special NASCAR channel so I can watch real racing. I'm sick of turning on Speed and seeing pre-race, post-race, mid-race, NASCAR truck, pit lane, NASCAR raceday, and all the other shows I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Seriously, why is this needed?

 

[Chuck Leeper]

Why would this be any different???
it's ALL about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Nascar is already taking it in the shorts for spectators, sponsors, and income in general.[Read fewer TV viewers, too]
BUT!! ABC losing Nascar, is ALOT less of an economic kik in the nutz, than the rest of the programming sponsors,[$$$$] they could have lost.

Oh Lord NO !.........having to listen to Darrell Waltrip for 4-6 hours for all the races ?........I would go back to listing to prn. :biggrin:

 

[Grumpy]

I Tivo it .. Then watch the last few laps. AFHV's were really funny I to went out of the room and came back in to see they changed channels.. only thing was is that I watched it last night

 

[Just a Six??]

Nascar is BORING!! The worst racing ever! Then add a DW to the mix & I want to Cut out my Eyes & stick pointed objects in my Ears!!
What a DINK that Good Ol Boy is when he talks!!

 

[WeSS]

Lucky?

GM powered. Be happy it is not some pos import.

ABC did that with the race and the Alabama/LSU game was also cut off before the end if I am not mistaken.
