The race is on a 30 minute tape delay....big deal......Lets just be thankful that the 2 series are together....the racing this year has been outstanding!!!!! After a year or two of the series being unified, I think we all will be seeing a lot more respect from TV land....Looking forward to a GREAT race tonight...

The schedule was set for TV over 6 months ago...when there was 2 series and only 17 cars...so at that time ESPN was doing the IRL a big favor putting them on tape delay right after the NNS..trying to get more people to watch it to boost fan support....but all of us fans have seen what a HUGE difference this year has been compared to the previous years....so after toughing this year out I believe things will soon be turned around...well lets hope anyway
