I too greatly enjoy the broadcasts when I CAN'T make it to a track. For instance there are some tracks (like Gas City) that do not allow children in the pits. And since we do this sport as a family, and it is too difficult for me to occupy a one year old in the grandstands for an entire evening when all he wants to do is see the race cars up close, I simply don't go. If I can watch it at home AWESOME, if not (which is the case with this example) I understand. I WOULD pay a fee to watch races from home. I would NEVER simply not go to see a race live because of the reason "well I can watch it on my computer". There's no comparison, but for those of us that can't make it, or live across the country, it's an amazing option. You never know, you might have some people watch some sprint week races, from say, Arizona, and say man did you see those races at Kokomo and Putnamville and etc? We HAVE to go out for Sprint week next year! You never know, you may be able to pick up a few fans from this deal. The only thing I can't stand about the Live Broadcasts is the complaining. I have seen those guys bust their ass to try to give people a good broadcast. But they DON'T charge, and use what equipment and internet connections are available, and when it doesn't work, people get on here and complain like it is just OWED to them to get to see the best drivers in the country race for FREE. If you want the best quality and no glitches, go to the races, if you can't get there I am sorry, but at least you're not sitting around for your speed sport to come to even find out who WON. Those guys have taken a lot of grief, but yet continue to try to do what they can for you fans to see these races.
This is just my opinion.
