Ever since TNT went to "Wide-Open Coverage" for the July Daytona race. and they had the small on screen ads every couple minutes...TSN would go to full screen commercials..... it was the most annoying thing to watch, but this year they have gone to more of a split screen and still showing the race during commercials.

I applaud TSN for doing this.

But the problem is that TNT runs a commercial every 5 mins $:-\$

My 32" is turned into a 12" TV

Yes thats still the problem....but just think like last year...those every 5 mins all you seen was commercials, at least this way you still get to see it small screen....TNT forces TSN's hand...as they have special ads from there sponsors made for this race....that I believe just fit on the bottom of the screen. so conserding the circumstances...and what it use to be like....this is great.

Use the "Race Buddy" on Nascar.com. No commercials.

Yes, TSN did a much better job this year with the "wide-open" deal. Last years race was almost un-watchable. They must have gotten enough emails last year to prompt the change, or maybe they were told up front what was going to happen.

100% Shrubs fault on that one although I have to cut him a little slack. One of the replays had the spotters voice and he told him "going high" when Smoke already had a fender on him. Shrub went for the second block and the rest is history.

Depends on how you look at it Harold, I thought the finish was awesome although the carnage after was a little ugly. But if your going to block like that you will get dumped every single time. You know Dusch is going to whine and complain about it, but what do you expect when you come up the race track that hard to block.
