What, Not Enough Ads on the Cars?

Sunday’s Daytona 500 broadcast on NBC was a tremendous disappointment. I bet that a review of the tape would show that the commercial time exceeded the coverage of actual racing. They would show two laps and go to another commercial.

They always left the race with a promise that they would return if there was a crash. I would like to see them come back for a brilliant pass or block.

Even when they were showing the race, the announcer was reading a plug for their Olympic coverage or some other sponsor.

I have always preferred the Fox coverage to NBC’s. But this was beyond the pale.

After attempting to watch the Olympics and the Daytona 500, I know what NBC really means: Nothing But Commercials.
