The only other Motorsport they show is the DTM..

I'm not exactly itching to reach in to my pocket for two series that are not putting on as exciting a race as they could be.. :o

No I can't.

And it's as Paul pointed out, they don't show enough to justify paying that price in the first place.

I did watch the Blue Square Premier Play Offs on Premier Sports as well. :p I have to pay for it really. I start work so early on Mondays that I can't really stay awake watching streams for the later races. I'm just not hardcore.

Anybody else notice that three people nearly destroyed Ryan Newman's car after it slid down the track on the last wreck, well after the caution had been waved?

Watch his car at 2:00

The DTM is on ESPN, not Premier Sports.

The commentators spotted that too.

It wouldn't be a plate race if Ryan Newman didn't get his car reduced to its component parts.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

I just watched the race back on TV, and I have to say they missed a really important segment of the race between rounds of green flag stops. Behind the 4 or 5 groups of 2-car hookups, the rest of the field had started a single file line and sometimes double file line of drafting just like it was before the tandem drafts began and they were actually gaining time on the tandems ahead of them until they broke up into 2's again and got spread apart. Everyone in the stands would cheer when they went by racing like they used to, nobody was really watching the leaders, and I'm really surprised TNT made no mention of it at all.

This, my friends, is why watching the races in person is so much better than on TV.

But TV does have the advantage of seeing plenty of replays, such as Blaney's crash. Oh, wait...

I actually noticed this on tv. I got excited for a 2nd but then they split up and my heart was broken.

Can't say I noticed this. I have the race on my Sky+, will look for it tomorrow.

Question? If it is illegal to push a car on the last lap to the win, how are any of these races with the two car drafts legal wins?

You've got a good point, but I'm sure if you asked NASCAR, they'd probably say that the rule only applies for those out of gas, off the pace, and the like.

If I ever get a chance to talk to Mike Helton or Brian France, I'm asking him that question.

That's been brewing in my head for a while now.
