Is it just me, but didn't ESPN flood the screen with too many commericals today during the Brickyard race??

Question

I think we saw more commercials than racing today.. grr

Answer 1

I thought it was a long infomercial with some racing clips thrown in...

Answer 2

Yes, you would they think they could have gotten all their commercials in during the numerous cautions.  It really ticked me off when they went away from what little green flag racing there was to a commercial.  Shame on ESPN.

3 STR8 N 08!!!

Answer 3

Actually I didn't mind the commercials this week. They timed out well with "Shark Week" on the Discovery Channel. Watch ten laps, flip to shark attacks, watch ten more laps, and flip right back. At least I got  to watch something exciting on a Sunday afternoon.

Answer 4

i'm glad i'm not the only one to notice this. they need to bring fox back...

Answer 5

Oh my gosh, they LOVED all those cautions! They went to commercial during every single one! And then sometimes even during a green flag run! And then they also went in and out on the coverage and didn't even say "Sorry we just had a little bit of technical difficulties." No they just went on and on and on...

I did enjoy Dale Jarrett though! I like him a lot better than Rusty Wallace

Answer 6

Yes. Worse than TNT and FOX. They'd finally get running for five laps, and break for a commercial !!!! They'd come back for one lap and the yellow was out for tires. Then go to commercial. It was by far the most pathetic NASCAR/ESPN presentation ever.

Answer 7

We have Hot Pass so I do not really pay attention to the broadcasts... but with a caution every 10 laps you were bound to see way more commercials!

Answer 8

What race?  I thought the commercials were the entertainment and the race was the commercial.

Answer 9

I had ESPN muted and PRN radio played over so I wasn't really paying attention to the commercials.

Answer 10

They always do, last year my dad and I timed the commercials and there was 97min of commercials.  I miss fox!!!  Darn football.

Answer 11

well with a caution every 10 laps its gonna happen....wait to see how they do during normal race conditons

Answer 12

lol u didnt miss anyting anyway, with all those cautions, the move of the race was won during caution

Answer 13

I guess I didn't notice. Just be happy you got to watch.
