With TNT, you have to plan on two hours of pre-race coverage.

Susan:

I think the COT is really hurting Nascar.

Saturday July 5, 2008 8:15 Susan

8:16

Geoffrey Miller:

The COT is a great race car at restrictor plate tracks, though.

Saturday July 5, 2008 8:16 Geoffrey Miller

8:16

Susan:

I love the restrictor plate races.

Saturday July 5, 2008 8:16 Susan

8:16

Geoffrey Miller:

The economy might be the biggest reason. $4 gas to drive 1,000 miles roundtrip isn't cheap.

Saturday July 5, 2008 8:16 Geoffrey Miller

8:17

Geoffrey Miller:

I wonder where Don, Kim, and everyone are.... they've got to have some Kyle Busch beef, right? :)

gas prices??

Saturday July 5, 2008 9:18 Laura

I don't think Tony and Kyle draft well together. Jr and Gordon don't either IMO
