That's some brilliant banter.

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

Welp.. This is going to be fun a night race at Jeff Gordon(Phoenix)

I understand past 7 with SNF but there is nothing on from 6-7 besides news...

I want to see that against this:

They probably don't want local affiliates being preempted by a sporting event that would be moved to another channel at the end of the hour.

Phoenix is in rain delay. Let's talk nonstop about Martinsville and then show the last 60 something laps right before the Kenseth/Logano deal. -NASCAR

 

[Johnny1996]

So NBC chooses the Martinsville race to replay. That must be their way of keeping the Kenseth fans happy.

 

[GTPorsche]

Gotta keep the WWE fans happy.

Don't you DARE move to NBCSN!!

 

[ukfan758]

NASCAR sure does have some quality photoshoppers.

 

[GTPorsche]

🤬 you NASCAR!!! Don't you DARE move to NBCSN!!

It's not their choice.

 

[Adamgp]

Just checked the hourly weather for Phoenix, doesn't look good. Rain almost non stop till about 1am.

Me thinks this will be a Monday race.

Rain delay... on the bright side I got to see Kenseth blow a right front tire at Martinsville.

 

[Dylan]

Rain delay... on the bright side, I got to see a replay of a NASCAR race that's under the red flag...

 

[ukfan758]

🤬 you NASCAR!!! Don't you DARE move to NBCSN!!

If you're an NBC executive, look at the choices: A NASCAR race that will attract about 3-8 million viewers or an NFL game that will attract 20+ million viewers. The ad value of the NFL game is also a lot more valuable. Finally and most importantly, NBC is required to air the games in accordance to their NFL contract (which does not list cable as another choice for the game) and so does NASCAR (which does list cable as an alternative).

NBCSN doesn't have NFL coverage anyway, so the argument is moot. As of current TV deals, ESPN has national cable rights to the NFL.

I mentioned that cable is not listed in their contract...

Rain delay? Lets show a race with a red flag delay instead. Nice logic.

Someone explain to me again why we can't run that new fangled rain tire, and windshield wippers at a track as flat as Phoenix?

Because no right turns.

Because then Kenseth's luck will get worse; he'll both blow a right front and have a wiper malfunction.

My post was a joke..

I know he didn't blow a RF Tire, but I thought it was funny.

Because it would be nothing but cautions.

Damnit NBC stop spoiling the damn race
