Jimmie wins the race....

Kenseth checks Allmendinger into Montoya and creates a massive fail in the frontstretch coming to the finish.

Earlier on, Kenseth gave Allmendinger room on the bottom, and Allmendinger took that space and spun Kenseth.

Aye to that. Worst broadcasting of motorsport period. Why I forgot to mention it is beyond me.

Did you not hear the announcers say that those on the East coast and in Central USA would be losing the coverage and it would be switching to ESPN2?

#412

yep. but didn't want to bother to look for it the last few laps.

Yeah, but the fact it does have to switch over is pretty annoying, IMO. ;[

I was really perturbed by that. I only get TV with rabbit ears, so I couldn't even watch the last bit of the race. But I don't really think I missed much anyway...

You missed a big smash up at the end of the race where Kenseth intentionally wrecked Allmendinger, Montoya, and about a quarter of the rest of the field coming to the checkers.. That's about it, though.

You mean like when ITV decided to run an advert break just before the last lap of the 2005 San Marino GP.

Well, thank god F1 races only air on cable here. Save for a few tape-delay events on network TV.

To be honest, it doesn't surprise me they stopped the NASCAR broadcast to show America's Funniest Home Videos. I'm surprised they didn't cut the live coverage of 9/11 to show a programme like that.
