I pay 98 a month for TV coverage, sounds like you might need to look into another option. NBC, along with 99% of other potential TV partners, is not going to kick off it's other properties to show IndyCar practice sessions. They already show the full races and qualifying sessions minus the first 6 hours of first day 500 qualifications on the SN and Network. What IndyCar got with this deal is a ton more exposure compared to what they had with the prior ABC/ESPN-Versus deal along with full team network broadcast quality coverage of all sessions.
I've come to the conclusion some of you would be happier if they would go back to the dark ages and ignore the complete season and only show the 500 on a tape delay World Wide Sports broadcast.
