I just DVR the race, watch it in the evening, or a couple hours past start time. FF until I see something interesting, leader battles, wrecks, etc...

I just don't have 4+ hours, or 6+ hours with a rain delay to sit in front of the TV. It would drive me insanse to watch it live (on TV).

Bad thing is a Saturday night race. Sometimes I'm so tired (got three youngin's running around) that I watch the rest on Sunday. Now I gotta avoid the Sunday paper, then there is a young man with down's syndrome at church that always tells me who won, so I usually have to dodge him too. LOL.

The ones asking that question can easily obtain the facts that would show wwho the fastest pit crew is.

When they ask a simple question that can be answered by a fact, why do they want opinions ?

Watching any of those things during the races already mentioned also bother me and I find them uninteresting. But what really gets to me are all the different "male enhancement" commercials. Say what??? Is every man watching these car races having problems in this area??? Won't any other channel do a few of these?? I thought this was suppose to be family entertainment but I have to question how much I would want my children watching those commercials much less having to answer them when they ask what it means!! Yikes! :0

I don't vote for anything.
Do you text your answer?
Could it be a way of getting thousands of people to send a text?
More money for Sprint.
Everything they do is to make money as far as voting for anything. You use a phone. That's what they want you to do. It makes the sponsors money. They don't care what you think. They just found a way to bleed money from gullable people.
It's all about money folks. They don't give a damn how you vote. Just as long as you vote and text it and be charged the nominal fee.
Think about it.

Sometimes the talking heads must be so enamored with each other that they're not watching what's happening on the track. They'll be blabbing to each other in the booth, and meanwhile we're seeing carnage on the track. Then, somebody must tip them off and they start speculating what we just watched. Horrible. Just horrible.

What an incredibly well thought out and finely executed statement. How many nights did you stay up late thinking of something that brilliant to share with us?
