Not the way you may be thinking. It seems that NASCAR has decided to harken to the fans suggestions once again and go back to the old start times for races. The times will all be no earlier than 1 p.m. and no later than 7:30 p.m. EASTERN time. And the green flag is suppose to fly within 20 minutes of the start time.
So while this may not make some fans happy, it certainly does make this fan extremely happy. I was getting tired of trying to remember when that week's race was suppose to start.
So from a long time fan, Thanks NASCAR for making this race fan happy!

sounds good...not surprising since it came from the fans rather than NASCAR, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI am happy with it too TSFan. Apparently you can apply to be on NASCAR's fan board - I saw a link to it on twitter. Will see if I can find again.
ReplyDeletetezgm99 I say if the fans want it let 'em have it their way. After all, it is their money that helps to keep the stands filled.
ReplyDeleteKlvalus, I think I saw something about on NASCAR.com a few months back. Let me know if you find anything more on it.
It wuld be nice to see the races start earlier again. Now if they can only put some excitement into the races.
ReplyDeleteLOL, PH!!!! I could have cared less if I slept thru last night's race or not! And isn't it Charlotte the race that RAGAN wanted the east coast bloggers to get together for? The "get together" part would be fun but you might have to keep me awake for the race part!lol
