Maybe…
The IRL can add FHD testing to the dirver’s physicals
Fans can go online to guess where their favorite driver falls on the FHD scale (FHD scale ranges from Nigel Mansel to Janet Gtuhrie)
Jack Arute does a 5 minute piece correlating FHD to career wins/top 5 finishes/etc.

But I was amused by it. I want to keep VS, but at the same time I don’t like Comcast from when I had cable, so I’m siding with Direct.

I really don’t think VS will be dropped more than short time. Comcast wants money, but VS needs the exposure. If you’re Comcast/VS, you don’t really want to go to Peak, that snake-oil “male-enhancement” outfit, and so on, and explain to them why the ad schedule they bought is suddenly not going to be seen by a large chunk of the audience, as paltry as it was to begin with. They’re trying to build VS into a viable alternative to Speed and (someday) ESPN: they need all the venues they can get.

If I’m wrong and it’s not picked up for Montegi: I’ll just watch it on-line.

The last weekend Nascar took off the IRL decided to take off also. Seems a little short-sighted.

On DirecTV, the provider and the channel were having a better hissy fit than most that I saw in high school. It was entirely annoying and distracted from the race on several occasions for me.

“Chase for the Championship” is contrived to sound important like another series.

The racing was fun to watch from front to back. I look forward to Motegi.
