did espn have a lot of commercials inbetween?
it's also the fault of Bernie Ecclestone, he just wants to get as much money
out of it as possible, and that's a shame, because it's actually damaging the

What a way to reduce the fields. I think Daytona is your first race.
Even financial teams would have to think about loosing a new car that just
proved to be the fastest at the moment.
As I understand it with stock car racing it is not if you crash it is
when you crash.  So it would be a but on the nose to loose your second car
in an accident at the second race, and have a race winner put away where
you cannot get at it.

     I think you and your friend need to tone it down since you got into
     a big fight and then kicked off the track because of the fight you
     guys had.  I mean it is just a race, and sure you can get into it
     and it's a long season and many races to just race at and it's a
     battle to the finish line.  But in the end, you can't keep putting
     your friendship on the line even though it may make the races more
     fun.  But, in the end you guys can be like beating on each other
     and getting into fights to a point where it won't be fun anymore.
     But that is just my opinion on the matter since i dunno i guess i
     don't have a true friend to experience something like this at a
     race.

    Hate to say that i am not be able to see the race on tv or be htere

how can you go to a race if most of the race tracks are far away from
where you live.  And how can you watch all the stuff on tv, when you
can't afford all the sports channels to be able to watch the races not
to mention the poor setup in times.  Since then you miss one race to
watch another.

assistant: Hello, Bob.
My understanding is that NASCAR only releases the rule book to the
participants (owners, drivers, etc.) and others with a bonafide "need to
know".
That, by their definition, doesn't include the fans, and I don't believe
it covers the media that reports on the sport.
Besides, as often as they change rules regarding car specs (Ford vs.
Chevy, for instance), the rule book at the END of a season doesn't
necessarily resemble the one that was in effect at the BEGINNING of that
same season!  A loose leaf ring binder would probably do nicely... <g>
