I paid $20 a month to up my tv package so I could watch races, I love when they are on fs1 because I can stream with my phone.

If I could pay a monthly fee and subscribe to steam all of the races, I would pay $15 or $20 per month for the privilege. That seems like pennies to me.

It's not even a NASCAR thing, how the over the air networks don't have live streaming on the internet (for free, without requiring cable provider logins) in TYOOL 2016 is mind boggling.

Sling Box is supposed to be coming out with an OTA box that will do this for you if you have internet that can serve it up. I am going to use it to scam NFL games by sending one to someone in every TV market. Cheaper then paying DirecTV.

There's also the issue of somewhat future proofing your revenue stream and getting money from international fans who don't have a legal way to watch races. Something V8 Supercars does with their Superview service, its not available in Austrailia and New Zealand but gives international fans a way to see all the races.

It pises me off that I can stream Speed (FS1) races but Can't stream Fox races, I can't even do it with my Fios credentials, I don't get why I can't stream an OTA channel, it Bottles the mind if I had an antenna attached to my phone I could watch the race. Night race, putting the kids to bed.. Oh well miss some of the race.

filed in the random drawer....

I go into a place to get my truck inspected just before, my dad told me to go there because it's his friend and they know a race car driver but he can't remember who.

I walk in and there's a glass display case filled with Jeremy Clements #51 gear, the gently caress? Turns out it's his aunt or something, and I'm inclined to believe her because who the gently caress runs a hole in the wall mechanic shop and sells Clements gear out of it exclusively?

So I got a shirt and a hat for $30 and she threw in a big sticker and autographed hero card for free :3:

I'm surprised at how quickly Stewart was cleared and got back into the car. I thought it was going to be one of those things where the X-Rays looked good, so the doctors would put him into a holding pattern for a three or four weeks just to be sure, and then he'd be cleared.

I actually can't blame NASCAR for lug nut thing honestly. Just six months ago, let alone a year ago, it was not considered do-able to run with less than five lugs. Apparently drivers have just gotten ok with racing with vibrations that use to send them right back into pit road. But isn't this the whole point of the sport; to push the envelope to gain any fraction of a second that you can? If you give drivers and teams the opening, they will exploit it every single time- no exceptions.

Next year NASCAR will go back to enforcing the lug nut rule, regardless if there is a serious problem this year. It's not the same thing, but it reminds me of the Hoosier vs Goodyear debate, Goodyear drivers were arguing that Hoosier's were faster but were unsafe and that it wasn't fair for NASCAR to put the teams in the position where they had to compromise their safety in order to be competitive.

I was thinking that maybe it would be cool if they went to the single nut that they use in open-wheel racing, but I'm leaning away from that idea. I kind of like the extra challenge that it takes to put on multiple lugs in a pit stop, it puts more of the race into the crew's hands. Open-wheel pit stops always look so smooth that anyone (not true, I realize) can do it without much effort.

Let's ask Tony what he thinks of this:



Seriously, though, NASCAR"s so worried about short-term perception that they're completely overlooking the long-term implications this could have, such as the Drivers' Union Council banding together to pay one driver's fines to get their argument out there (e- and the fans aligning with the drivers when NASCAR shakes its fist both because they're the face of the sport and they're getting tired of the innovations of Brian France and Co. NASCAR).

"If it isn't allowed to be said publicly, then people aren't thinking it and all is well!"

Lest we forget, it was France himself that called Mark Miles to encourage them to do the same poo poo in IndyCar.
