Personally I'd rather watch the "live" race. However, this IS a good problem to have and a step in the right direction. I just wish the Knoxville Nationals were live this past Saturday.

Is either one being rebroadcast? If so, that'll make my choice easier.

The schedule shows Bowman Gray being rebroadcast Sun, Aug 22 at 11 PM on VERSUS.

I plan to watch Bristol live and TiVo Bowman Gray to watch when Bristol is over.

Versus moved the Bowman Gray race to Tuesday Aug, 17 at 7:00 pm so it would not conflict with the Bristol race.

Awesome!

Yes, I'd much rather see the races live, but when it's not possible, this is a good option!

Great news! Gotta get me some snacks lined up for each evenings broadcast!
Night time broadcasts...probably too late for pork roll, egg and cheese huh?

Correct answer!

You get extra credit for avoiding the
oft-used (but correct) cliche "It's never too late for pork roll, egg and cheese!"

Pork roll is not bound by the constraints of time....

OK, guys, this is what has been talked about, dreamed about, fantasized about for a very long time. I surely hope every single one of you has sent at least 10 messages to each of these networks thanking them for doing this and telling them you're going to buy their sponsors' products. If you don't, you really don't belong here.

Who would have ever thought there'd be the problem of choosing which Modifed race to watch on TV??

And stop complaining about this and that, there's a lot of thought and effort put into these shows, it really looks like they're trying hard to present a legitimate product. It ain't perfect, but what is in life? Sure, Jimmy Spencer is a duffus, but he's OUR duffus!! Jackie Arute interviews Indy Champ Dario Franchitti scant days before and after calling a mod race on TV. Ralph Shaheen, Phil Parsons are legendary on the world of racing on TV and are good at it. Be happy, smile about it! :) :) :)

By the way, will the Thompson race be shown, and if so, when??

I think the Thompson race will be next Wednesday night, August 25th at 7pm on Versus.

This article might insterest some of you:

"According to our vast research, any/all food/drink consumed while watching a Modified race, either live, or on tape/TV, is treated by the body as a vegetable. It seems the thundering tones of the Mods' exhaust scares the hell out of the bad cholesterol, freaky fats, and other blood clogging things. This leaves only the good endorfins, pleasant tastes, and other healthy traits to be absorbed in the body.

These are our findings and we're sticking to them.

Respectfully Submitted,

Ben and Jerry Frito-Lay."

I can live with this.

Enjoyed tonights race, better than I though it would be considering the tight track.
But its criminal that Riverhead which holds what 3,000 people pays out $53,000 (Nascar dollars) and BG which has 15,000 + fans pays $29,000?
