    Dirt racing national TV

    Real shame they can only get a 1 hour window to get the race in. From rain they were behind so they are just showing highlights of last 2 nights. I’m afraid with the track prep needed for dirt we won’t get many shots for live shows.

        That's the beauty of having FloRacing, Dirtvision etc. They just broadcast the show. Network TV dictates how the show is run. F that.

          I understand that it’s just nice to get dirt racing out to new people that don’t subscribe to any of that. With the cluster nascar has going right now dirt racing could capitalize imo

            I view it as a "careful what you wish for" situation. Network TV changes the dynamics of an event and usually not for the better. People like dirt racing for what it is. Why ruin it?

              There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss The Nashville Network (TNN) and SPEED.

                  They showed Thursday and Friday highlights for the hour window, then off to bull riding.

                    Thanks Shiny. So we missed another great opportunity to showcase "our" sport to the masses! Really Hope this weekend works out better!

                      Was it on cbs sports? My cable provider has it as a premium channel with a high number channel. My guess is a fairly low percentage of the population gets it anyway. Without advertising the event on any other channels even if I had it I probably wouldn't even have known it was on. FS1 used to be a premium channel then alot of people complained about it and they put it on the lower package.
                      2020 race count:
                      1/2 of an event

                        You have it right. Not many would have seen it on cbs sports.
