I would say 7th through 16th in points are still what I would consider bubble drivers on making the Chase. Those drivers are spread all over in the starting line up. You have Martin starting on the pole, Biffle 2nd, Kenseth 5th, Bowyer 6th, Newman 9th, Montoya 11th, Vickers 14th, Kyle Busch 15th, Reutimann 18th and Kahne 29th.

I'm not a lawyer, but it's something like this; networks pay a general fee to be able to play music from the major publishing companies (ASCAP, etc.) That's why they can play them at the All Star race, for example, so I'm thinking they'd be covered for most songs. But if an individual wants to sing a song, like American Idol, that's a special use. Figure skaters, gymnastics, that would be another example, they need permission/to pay.glenc1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-353659320915819792009-08-21T15:20:42.075-04:002009-08-21T15:20:42.075-04:00I generally FF or mute when Jimmy or Kenny start r...I generally FF or mute when Jimmy or Kenny start running their yaps.

I was also wondering if playing it on TV makes ESPN have to pay royalties to the musicians/estates if the songs chosen are by folks who have passed? I know CBS yells at the Houseguests to "stop singing" if they're singing a song on BBAD. I haven't subscribed to the feeds so I don't know if they do the same thing during the other hours. But I recall when it's someone's birthday and they're celebrating during the BBAD show they go to the fish tank until they're finished singing Happy Birthday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-15360353911011762302009-08-21T13:34:12.141-04:002009-08-21T13:34:12.141-04:00I have also been listing the green flag times both...I have also been listing the green flag times both in columns and on the TV listings on the right side of the page.
