Even worse than last year. Seems like as soon as they go to "made for TV" it ruins everything. All week long the show was great, now you put it on live TV and it's a joke.

Why do we wait for 90 minutes and 30 laps to get the same track as when the last B has finished? Next year lets say we run the A 25 laps , no 90 minute delay for track work?

Hey look who was doing the track work!!!! Guess tony thought he was working his track, was already dry slick as the cars were lining up for their race, I have never seen it take Haubstadt that long to redo the track

Happy I didn't bother to watch it. Nothing more irritating than excessive delays

You guys are complaining about a race that was won on the last lap, that you watched from the comfort of home?

I'm pretty sure air quality plays a role. in order to have 24 cars run 55 laps they have to evacuate all fumes, that takes time.

Not to mention 300 plus cars running all day. 2 Problems Haubstadt and all other tracks don't have to deal with. I just saw where Bell started 15th, so how bad could it have been?

Looks like more of an observation than a complaint
But yes. Why so long? If this sport is trying to draw in new fans this type of drawn out program/coverage certainly IS NOT positive. What suggestions do you have Brent? (since you think those who watched from home shouldn’t be able to ‘complain’) |
