Every other race in the season has qual a day or two before. Why a week early?

QUOTE (jensend @ Feb 12 2006, 16:14) Because the 800# gorilla wants to have a reason for the 300 pre-race programs that monopolize the schedule on the NAS, er, SPEED channel. Also, its a way to try and stay visible during the Winter Olympics. It's all about sports marketing- as usual. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant.gif) It has nothing to do with that. They've been doing it this way for 20+ years before NASCAR was the new American past-time, or at least the new bandwagon. They've just started live televising every practice, qual, race since it got big. You used to have to wait until non-peak times or an ESPN re-cap just like you have to wait for everything else now. As far as why it's two weeks long, one reason is to have a take a vacation and party, my godfather has been doing it since '80. The other is that it's the biggest race of the season. Don't the other sports channels do the same for the Super Bowl? Yep. |
