Funny you guys mention the fact that we're lucky these races aren't on tape delay, and shown a week later. Surprisingly, we still get some races tape-delayed by an hour or more... TSN is apparently the home of NASCAR in Canada, but it often doesn't feel that way.

Still, I can't complain about that, either... in the late 90's, races on ESPN were never shown live, but at MIDNIGHT on TSN. Talk about shitty. You could set your VCR to record, but that was no fun.

Anyway, I do count myself lucky that that's the worst of it, but it's definitely not the commentary about today's racing coverage that sucks. It's just the over-abundance of ads, which is just the way it is in this day and age. :(

My cure for the whole ads debacle is to start watching the race an hour after it actually starts on the DVR, and then fast forward through commercials. I almost always catch up to Live within the last 25 laps or so.

Overall, 31.1 percent of the New Hampshire Motor Speedway race broadcast was taken up by commercials. That ties with TNT's Sonoma broadcast for the second-highest number of the season behind TNT's Kentucky broadcast, which was 31.7 percent ads.

I think it shows that TNT can't really afford NASCAR coverage. Either that or they're greedy.

Same here. I was hoping to watch a highlights show but it was not shown for some reason so I decided to 'watch' the race here with the TBK rundown.
