Every time I read one of these threads, I think, "There's a reason they do that." It's all about money and ratings, guys, and drag racing must be bottom-of-the-barrel in that regard. If it wasn't, they wouldn't preempt for things like retired football players talking while wearing ugly yellow sport coats, and overweight women playing softball, and lumberjack contests, and so on...

ESPN SUCKS!
NHRA SUCKS,they are only hurting themselves with piss poor TV coverage!How many times have you told a friend or Co-Worker you need to watch NHRA this Sunday night @ 7:00 its gonna be some great racing,only to have them say to you on Monday morning I turned over there but did not see any NHRA?
PS only us hard headed hard core Drag Racers would sit in front of the TV hours at a time waiting for some other BS like last night that should never been allowed to run over their time.

I finished watching the Tigers ball game on another
channel bumping back once in a while to see if the
hot air fest was over... the wife sent a e-mail to
ESPN and seen that their facebook page felt the same
way as both of us... I guess being JUST qualifying
it dont mean DICK

IIRC, NHRA has to PAY espn to air the coverage. They, nhra, have no pull on what goes on with airings getting preempted, delayed.
I can not speak for NHRA but when I pay for something,I'm gonna get what I paid for and I would think as Big & Powerful as NHRA is they would be the same.
PS if NHRA is paying ESPN they need to take their $$$ some where else!
NHRA isn't a gnat on the rear of ESPN. ESPN is huge.
There are plenty of small channels that would be happy
to deal with the NHRA.... SCREW ESPN
