What happened to this show? I see it's not on anymore. Sure didn't last long.

It was canceled. Original deal called for 4 shows during May and then they'd go from there. Versus programmers decided to cancel show unless title sponsorship package was presented.

Tuesday at 4pm was a bad time-slot, but I'm guessing the ratings must've been lower than Gone Fishin' with Bill Dance re-runs.

I was bummed to see it off the schedule this week. I thought it was a pretty good show and getting better. I really liked the USAC segment they had. Nice they were trying to tie the two together.

Kevin Lee who is the host said it's parked until funding can be found (sounds familiar in racing these days). They are hoping to be back and in a better time slot. 4pm was tuff to get ratings.

I rarely watch any show live; I record it on my DVR then watch at my convenience. I would probably never be available to watch at 4:00PM. If you can't record the show, this would be a terrible time.

Only saw one episode of the show, actually found the show by accident while trying to decide what Indy coverage I needed to set up to tape before heading to my daughters. My first thought why was the show only 15 minutes long? My second thought why wasn't the word getting out about this show? Third thought why wasn't it a daily show? Hoping they find the funding needed, get it back on TV and get the word out about the show being on TV. We can all ***** about Nascar and have in the past, me included but the one thing they sure know how to do is get the word out about their product.
