This is the first time since Daytona that I've really felt good about
watching Nascar.

<< I'll be glad to give KPRC-TV the benefit of doubt, but not showing the Saturday NASCAR
Daytona
race does bring to mind the question..."What the hell were they thinking?" I'm sure it was a
previous contractual agreement that mandated a "celebrity" golf tournament, "Entertainment
Tonight", and the "Miss Texas Beauty Pageant" should be shown in lieu of a live (or even tape
delayed) NASCAR race broadcast. Maybe KPRC-TV felt they fulfilled their commitment to fans by
showing the one-hour NASCAR 2001 "recap" from 2 to 3 PM? In the future, should KPRC-TV decide
that the previous mentioned items, or some similar programming provides a better ratings or
broadcast value, please post that race fans can wait till 10:30 PM on a Fox-associated local UHF
channel to view the race. >>

Not sure what time the race actually came on the NBC network so some of the above may not have
been relevant.
Didn't know about KPRCs plans until yesterday evening. Imagine my surprise...haha. If somebody
fouled-up and got the scheduling commitment wrong in the programming department then *at least*
they could have gone for a delayed telecast at 10:30 PM. Sheesh.
| You mean an NBC station actually didn't show the race?

You seem to forget he was 2nd at the 500. Nothing staged about that. You're
entitled to your opinion, but I think you're a little paranoid.
