    Anyone else watching the Daytona TV Commercial 500?

    Yeah, I'm watching tv commercials on Fox and they seem to occasionally interrupt the commercials with a bunch of cars going 200 mph around a big oval track. Now tell me, who wants to see tv commercials interrupted by something as boring as 40 cars all bunched up and going nearly 200 mph?

    Seriously bad coverage of the Daytona 500 by Fox.

    Hey All,

    Doesn't seem to be as bad here in Canada on TSN.

    There must come a point when it is counter productive. They probably have fancy algorithms for calculating. For me though I gave up watching F1 because of the constant ads on TV.

    Sucks for Kasey - would be nice for him to bring a small racing team into the limelight.....

    Two thirds commercials, one third racing. I am just glad that they didn't cut to commercial on the last lap! On another note: The new aero package really sucks! No rear down force. All you have to do is breath on these cars to spin them, then you have 10 or 20 cars torn up. I watch racing to see just that, not to watch wrecks and lap after lap under caution. If NASCAR thinks that more wrecks will bring better ratings, they are barking up the wrong tree.

    The TV broadcast for NASCAR in France only shows one commercial pause for the whole race, and it always takes place during a caution.

    Formula 1 is broadcasted by a pay TV channel, and there is ZERO commercials during the races.

    Poor American motorsports fans. You pay to watch AND you get more commercials than racing.

    then Hamlin getting so emotional about the kid with the gocart.seems we have a more emotional group here,but thats just fine with me,my fathers age of men not showing emotion is gone for the most part,nothing wrong with being human.
    and then bowman and the riddler..that was funny.
