Anybody out there following the Grand Am?

[Müle]

Watching the truck race, but the Closed Caption is talking about the Grand Am race lol.

Watching the Grand-Am Race right now on FS2, anyone else?

Yup. And despite the fact that it's not HD yet, FS2 is actually doing a good job. Roughly 12-14 minutes of live racing, and only about 2-3 minutes of commercials, much better than Speed used to do (I think they learned this from the positive feedback received from NBC's F1 and Indy broadcasting).

Brilliant!


EDIT: The Fox Sports Live commercials are hilarious. "We can draw circles and arrows" It's like they're trying to make something that every other sports network does suddenly sound amazing and original.

 

[BROHAM]

These commercials are killing me.

 

[JohnBM01]

I don't get FUEL, so I'm going to miss out on FOX Sports 2. Be relegated to hoping FS1 shows the races proper that I missed on FS2.

They're re-airing the GA race tomorrow on FS1 at 4:00 PM EST. (3:00 PM CT)

Thank god. The lack of HD on FS2 is obnoxious

The best part...

Comcast: Subscribe to DirecTV, and then turn to channel 618

 

[BROHAM]

This race is absolutely nuts.

 

[JohnBM01]

I don't really care for HD coverage. I don't have an HDTV or any HDTV satellite package. So I'm not bothered by no HD coverage.

 

[MrWednesday]

Looked HD to me on D*. Maybe just your provider doesn't have the HD channel?

 

[RACECAR]

My current Dish package has HD versions of many channels (almost all of them I think). Somehow, FS2(formerly Fuel) is not one of them.

 

[polarbear345]

Couldn't find fuel TV. I think I've seen commercials for it... But I don't think I get it. Oh well, something to watch tomorrow evening!

 

[MrWednesday]

If you're going through an on-screen guide, they probably already updated it to FS2.

Looked for both. Don't get it here.

Was just at the beach for two weeks, so I must've seen it down there

 

[RACECAR]

Here's an idea, Chip: Fire that moron Rojas and replace him with Montoya. He's faster AND he actually can avoid running into things (regardless of all the unfunny Jet dryer jokes)

 

[TheBook]

I'm watching the replay of this race. What the hell was Rojas thinking, dive-bombing in from a good three car lengths back?

He's done that for years lol

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

The R8 looks so nice!

 

[cnd01]

I'm glad to see Yacaman out there proving that he's a good driver. Jordan Taylor now finishing races too. I bet that pays dividens

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I agree with this. I love seeing the young drivers winning, and second place. But, oh well, I'm not the young driver up there.


Go underdogs! 01 car, you need to leave.

 

[JohnBM01]

Yeah, that was a thug move for that Ganassi car divebombing that car in the hairpin. Lot of attrition in this race. I still think this road course around Kansas Raceway is boring. If USCR wants to remain with a Kansas venue, Heartland Park Topeka is a better bet than Kansas Raceway's road course.

 

[MrWednesday]

I'd think they'd want to make sure the cut/repave (whichever it is they're doing) fixes the tire-eating issues before they think about scheduling HPT.

 

[RACECAR]

Go underdogs! Rojas, you need to leave.

Fixed.

 

[cnd01]

Kansas has been everything and more I've been expecting. (Keep in mind my expectations here were that of paint drying)

Go Jordan Taylor!!! Mullet Power!!!

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

^ Connor beat me to it.


I hope that Jordan can keep it up.

 

[JohnBM01]

A key piece from the FOX Sports 1 broadcast: (indirect quote) "what would have been if Ganassi didn't pull that divebomb early in the race..." I don't know. It was an okay race at Kansas. Not too exciting for me.

Kansas is in the rear view mirror now. Bring on Laguna Seca!

 

[Wilbur]

Hopefully Rojos is out and JPM is in, might be why he didn't resign.

 

[Mac K]

Magnus got screwed, gotta love NASCAR officials, they'll throw cautions for spun cars and paper but wooden signs and a door on the racing line aren't worthy of one.. Good race though, the night portion was cool. Still not sold on the track, it's a bit lazy. Might be fun in a club race or something but not in anything Pro.

After the entire rear bumper of Stevenson was left in the middle of the racing line in the brake zone for Canada corner, I wouldn't put anything past the "officiating"
