Not only did they screw nascar fans, they screwed the little leauge baseball championship game just to put on a Lions tail gating party for a "pre season" game.<br /><br />Nascar is 2nd in ratings to NFL, but that's not the case here, more fans would rather of seen the bristol race than a stupid pre season game. Escpecially if it wasn't their NFL team they follow.

You may not be football fans, but many of us watch both racing & football. Things like this are just sometimes hard to work out.

Actually it doesnt matter if its meaningful or not the stations involved are "contractually obligated" to use a go daddy term to carry them and people actually watch these games especially this third game. Stations likely get more revenue from NFL than NASCAR but I really do not know. The problem is that ESPN scheduled this race for ABC without national clearance as they do every year.

I don't know about the Philly stations.<br /><br />Of course since I follow the race via twitter & trackpass (although trackpass has been a pain for the last few weeks), I'm not sure if it really matters that I can't "see" the race unless ESPN/ABC is suddenly going to actually cover it.
