I think Nascar has a big problem with tv. This year it is just getting worse. If NASCAR wants to succeed they will need to fix this tv situation soon. Look at other major sports. Baseball you can watch on FOX or your local station might be playing your hometown's game. That also goes for basketball. I could watch every Lakers game on 1 channel.Now I am not a Lakers fan, but that isn't the point. Then football. I can watch around 5 games if I switch between CBS and FOX. So these are the three biggest sports in the US and they can all be watched somewhat convienently. Now NASCAR I can watch the first races, but come the middle of the season what if I didn't have a cable. If NASCAR had all their races on non cable stations fans would be able to keep up with their favorite driver every Sunday which means that when your favorite driver is in a battle to get into the chase you would know about it and want to go watch your driver at the racetrack.

I understand this is all about money, but if you get more fans to the racetrack NASCAR is still making money they just probably haven't figured that out yet.
