If you are going to watch the delayed race on TSN, why have SC on when you know the race has ended, why watch the ticker when you see NASCAR and why watch all the highlights? As soon as you see any chance of them telling you what happened, turn off the tv!

TSN was saying they are airing the race next and all of sudden I see highlights of Tony Stewart and the ticker not enough time to turn it off it was to late.

If you say the race is coming up next why show the highlights and the ticker? No use of showing the race then. It was their doing don't they realize people are going to be tuning in? They are just plain stupid people working their sorry to say. I wouldn't show highlights of it at all as you are going to be airing the race what is the need to show them? Less people will tune in if they know who one.

It comes down to this Sports Fans !!
TSN was hired to cover the CTS deal and promissed a great TV package.
The reason the TV package is so important is not for the racers benefits, but 99% for the Sponsors benefits. NASCAR made leaps and bounds in Motorsports after airing the Daytona 500 live back in the early 70's, and the growth of NASCAR has been directly made possable by outstanding TV coverage.
Sponsors that pay millions for commercial spots find it more rewarding to spend there marketing money on sponsoring a race car that gets more airtime then a commercial, and that is why this series needs better coverage- to land more sponsors that are greatly needed.

TSN needs to step it up, or step it out, and let someone else have a go at it if they are not willing to go the extra yard- straightaway- on this deal.

For all the Stick and Ball fans out there I am sure you will agree the principle is the same for any sport.
