March Madness and Tiger hs been going up against NA$CAR for years but I think this year will show a bigger than normal drop. <br /><br />One factor that has dropped out of the news since we got a new president is the price of gas. As it approaches and exceeds $3.00 per gallon, it does and will continue to have a big impact on race attendance and the number of RVs that show up at races.Kennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-16965783834483538792010-03-19T20:54:34.187-04:002010-03-19T20:54:34.187-04:00HAH - just wait until NASCAR has to go up against ...HAH - just wait until NASCAR has to go up against Tiger Woods.

One of my alma maters, Marquette, got spanked, but my Wisconsin survived a scare from Wofford. I haven't been much interested in Nascar this season, a lot due to the bad, boring racing. And now we'll have a fake rivalry, made even more so by the nasty comments between Harvick and Edwards. Sorry, but with all this crap, Nascar really IS starting to look more like WWE, each and every week. I may check back in once they bring on the spoilers, but for now, it'll be the Big Dance for me.Darcienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-42489467014295833452010-03-19T18:56:27.284-04:002010-03-19T18:56:27.284-04:00Yep, that was the only CBS Sports picture I could ...Yep, that was the only CBS Sports picture I could find!

For some reason watching qualifying at Bristol and Martinsville just makes me happy.<br /><br />I'm on a couple of mailing lists and have noticed that some of the tracks, including Charlotte and Martinsville are using e-mail to stay in touch with fans Apparently the new social media stuff is changing how the tracks are promoting the sport than they used to and thought it was interesting that it seems at least some of the tracks, as well as sponsors and manufacturers have finally caught on that NASCAR fans these days multi-task to follow the race, not just sitting in front of the TV watching. <br /><br />Sound likes so many of us here on The Daly Planet during the races - multi-tasking to figure out what's going on-- I think what they may not fully realize though is that much of that multi-tasking is a result of the poor TV broadcasting from Fox and ESPN.<br /><br />I was wondering to myself since I don't watch basketball - is the coverage that ESPN does of the NCAA tournament as disjointed as the race broadcasts - Cup side, since the Nationwide coverage has been much better this season.<br /><br />Maybe if the sponsors and manufacturers finally "get it", it will help persuade the tv folks to provide better coverage.<br /><br />Of course, I could just be dreaming too.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-61539547370365768042010-03-19T16:49:39.995-04:002010-03-19T16:49:39.995-04:00When the ratings come out next week, we'll be ...When the ratings come out next week, we'll be hearing the excuses that the ratings were down because of March Madness.

The campground wasn't half full and they said there were "plenty" of good seats still available. They hope they pick up a lot of last minute deciders. However, the forecast is for a good chance of rain on Sunday (optimists say 40% and pessimists say 70%). Hopefully, the rain will arrive late in the day. Wunderground has it at 60% from 11:00AM til dark.<br /><br />I don't trust anything I hear from Fox or Speed regarding conditions because they have a vested interest.OSBORNKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265276174788619591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-23013725443436949582010-03-19T14:02:46.320-04:002010-03-19T14:02:46.320-04:00The NFL trumps just about everything in sports, no...The NFL trumps just about everything in sports, not just NASCAR - and one reason I never see mentioned is gambling.Richard in N.C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-60009041169145924452010-03-19T13:56:38.754-04:002010-03-19T13:56:38.754-04:00Who would pass up Bristol for NCAA Basketball?
