NASCAR 2016 season

Nascar truck race was nice and exciting. The two truck drivers in the fight made national TV. Good for the ratings. :wtf2

I got a kick out of Tony's quote when asked about the fight:

"I'm going to go to Zaxby's and eat chicken all week just in support of John Wes (Townley)," Stewart joked about the tussle near the end of Saturday's Camping World Truck Series race. "Hey, I'm all for it. I'm glad to see somebody had some emotion and actually did something with it. I'm going to live my life through him for this week. At least I did last night."

(Zaxby's is Townley's sponsor, and is owned by his Townley's Dad, I believe)

I wonder if fines or suspensions will come out today for the truck series altercations. Since they claim they no longer want this after the Logano/Kenseth flare up it will be interesting to see what happens.
 
Here's the commercial breakdown. Saturday's race had the second highest percentage of commercials among the last 10 races. The 600 was the highest. Coke really is pushing their name hard here. 'Coke Zero 400 Powered by Coca-cola' and the abundance of commercials featuring the Coke drivers. Most old timers I know still refer to the July Daytona race as the Firecracker 400, I still call it the Pepsi 400.

Even when not in commercial, they were still doing their best not to show the race. I don't remember being so irritated by the XFINITY coverage the previous day.

I thought the same thing. They kept talking about the drivers and how they were doing, but didn't show them.
