I don't give a damn about watching people I don't know bid on cars I will never own for prices that I could never fathom spending on in the first place. If I could afford that much I'd do a lot more sensible things with the money than buy an overpriced show vehicle. This is entertainment? "Oh! Someone just raised the bid! Honey! Make some popcorn and get back in here quick, it went up to 75k! You're missing it!" Give me a break. Let me know when the executives at Speed get their heads on straight. Speed and Fox fear the possibility of a Nascar channel?

I had the volume on for the beginning of Cup practice. Someone said their water temp was rising on the twisty sections of the track. Durrl chimed in and opined that the jostling of the constant lefts and rights could be causing it. By the way, let me assure that what DW said was nonsense. Then he caught himself and said he couldn't prove what he just said. I immediately hit the mute button again. I tried listening in a few more times and caught more blather and left the TV on mute which is really an enjoyable way of watching the broadcasts. If something happens or catches your eye, you can turn up the volume. I agree with the earlier posts. B-J should be on in the Winter or during the week, but heck, why should Speed get real now??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-70393378858153498242011-06-24T14:45:12.686-04:002011-06-24T14:45:12.686-04:00If Speed wants to create additional "lifestyl...If Speed wants to create additional "lifestyle" programming, why not have these auctions live on, say, a Thursday night? Thursday is a big TV night for the networks and most have their biggest shows on. And it's not like the people buying and selling cars at the auction need to be punching the time card at work. So why aren't the auctions during the week and the NASCAR coverage live on the weekend?Charles Krallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09772183445158283487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-67218477749112988802011-06-24T13:51:12.551-04:002011-06-24T13:51:12.551-04:00It sucks nobody gets to see anything from Road Ame...It sucks nobody gets to see anything from Road America today, and now I cant even see Cup qualifying cause I go to work at 9pm central time tonight!!!

Won't watch anything Waltrip is broadcasting for very long so that's usually out anyway.

I suspect, however, that a lot of people like to watch rich people buying cars for some reason I can't fathom (PJ, I consider five minutes of a car auction like watching grass grow, much less five hours--unlike qualifying, where something is actually happening and I have an interest in the outcome.)

It no longer means much so I have no interest in it now. It is usually important for a few teams who ae not locked in the top 35. With the potential loss of more teams, it will not be important to anyone. Even now, the only cars that find qualifying important are start and parkers.OSBORNKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265276174788619591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-704459861381490552011-06-24T08:39:44.406-04:002011-06-24T08:39:44.406-04:00I know a lot of people don't like qualifying b...I know a lot of people don't like qualifying but if its on during a time when I'm at home, I do like to watch.<br /><br />Nascar loses again?
