Yeah, you'd think.
As many of you witnessed, with 34-to-go on Sunday, most of the country's race coverage was replaced with "AFV."
The race coverage concluded on ESPN2, but still, what the fuck?
What is truly mystifying is why Disney/ABC/ESPN devotes so much time to pre-race festivities, driver intros, praying to God, flyovers, Rusty Wallace sitting behind a desk, etc., yet would even consider ending network coverage early. It makes no sense. NASCAR, in a rare moment of truthiness, doesn't get the programming logic either.
It's almost funny that the premier motor racing series in the country was treated like a bitch by TV higher-ups. NASCAR truly got the IndyCar/CART/Champ Car treatment from TV-execs. Ouch. That hurts.
If this doesn't show the masses where motor racing sits in the greater-American sport's hierarchy, nothing will.
The bigger questions raised... Who knew "America's Funniest Home Videos" was still on TV?
