I know there are over 200 to go, but I have a lot to get done before Monday and don't really want to waste 90 minutes watching laps click by before the real driving begins. If NASCAR wants to compete with the NFL, this has to change.Buschseries61noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-59832544674776861622012-09-16T14:02:22.668-04:002012-09-16T14:02:22.668-04:00@Anon 9:42AM, I agree with you.

Thank you Jr. Knowing BSPN, they probably have a new technique to darken those around JR with a spotlight on him only.<br /><br />@Anon 10:43AM, my driver is Marcos too. Our only hope is that he wins during the chase. But even then, it would still be all about the chasers.Dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701502016993312530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-11502838109415507892012-09-16T10:13:42.492-04:002012-09-16T10:13:42.492-04:00Expect very little mention of drivers not in the c...Expect very little mention of drivers not in the chase.

I wouldn't be surprised if things aren't focused on the Chase even more because of the dog + pony show that NASCAR had this week with Chase drivers.<br /><br />One thing about this race, ESPN will have to cover the back of the pack because Jr. starting at the back. If he has to grind it out working his way to the front, it will be hard for them to ignore those cars around him.<br /><br /><br />I'm surprised you have not posted anything about the 15% job cutbacks Nascar had this week in Charlotte.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-33387424792983701752012-09-16T09:39:41.696-04:002012-09-16T09:39:41.696-04:00Last night's IndyCar race was fantastic.

Tight shots, cam shots, camera jumping, etc. are like an addiction they find impossible to give up. MCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
