The Daytona 500 is under a red flag right now. Because of a crash? No, it's because the track is falling apart. The delay is at least an our long and I am sure the folks at Fox are quite pissed.
The Daytona 500 is the Super Bowl of NASCAR and this just should not happen. Can you imagine at the real Super Bowl, they have to delay the game an hour because the field stadium is falling apart? Seventh game of the World series and they have to delay the game for an hour because the outfield fence falls over?
So, now, I have to get ready for work and I won't be able to watch the rest of the race. This sucks. Good customer service NASCAR and the Daytona Speedway.
Update: I had to get the race updates from my lovely wife Cathy. They also had another red flag because of the track about 20 laps from the finish.
Jamie McMurray won the race with a very exciting finish with Dale Earnhardt Jr. came in second. http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/nascar/cup/news/story?id=4914488
Fox Sports must have been really pissed about the to lengthy delays and customers turning the TV dial to other TV stations.
One announcer had the gall suggesting fans enjoyed the breaks in the action. No, you moron, we didn't enjoy the delays and no matter how you spin it, the race really sucked.
The race was an embarrassment to NASCAR and Daytona Speeday. This was the Super Bowl of NASCAR racing and they blew it. I am not sure how they recover from this debacle, but they better find a way.
