I liked it. Although when they had a commercial come on I'd switch to the HotPass channels. That way I could still see the race. I really liked that.

Good points all! No, it didn't s*ck, but it surely didn't live up to the hype. Not from my perspective anyway.

I'll continue to watch NASCAR no matter what. I always program something else to watch during the commercials anyway. Besides, nothing can be worse than ... what's the network channel ... CBS, ABC, or NBC, that has about 4 minutes of racing and 8 minutes of commercials?
