so all us hockey/automobile racing fans all know exactly where we stand
ESPN delays the martinsville race by a day for the NFL draft
ESPN shows baseball instead of the overtime of a NHL playoff game
gimme a break, guys
=> >>Does anyone know why this race is tape delay? Especially until Monday???
=> >Is this the weekend for the NFL draft?
=> >If so, postponing the race for a day is
=> >a real slap in the face for racing fans.
=> I'm afraid you're right (as usual). As I recall they've been doing this
=> ever since they started covering the draft live. I wish they could work
=> out some kind of a deal with somebody else such as TNN to get the race
=> on live, but I guess ESPN isn't much into sharing. It also clarifies
=> where auto racing stands on their priority list (as if we didn't already
=> know ;-)
