Thanks For Nothing NASCAR

NASCAR promised me a race. At 10 p.m. they said it would start at 11. At 11, midnight was the start time, then 1 a.m. and finally two in the morning. Like any loyal fan, I stayed up, not wanting to miss any racing action. When 2 a.m. rolled around, what did I get? I got a 30-second interruption of an episode of Whacked Out Sports that I was forced to suffer through, telling me that the race is being run tomorrow at 1 p.m Now I will go to work with less than four hours of sleep and I'll miss the race anyway. Not cool NASCAR.

How long does it take to get to California from Cincinnati? Brian France and I need to have a talk.

wow, you are ate up with racing. You're a true gearhead. That does seem to suck. I didn't watch it, but I would've been mad, like you, had I been strung out like that.

Ever heard of TEVO or DVR?  If you haven't you might want to check it out.  That way you can go to bed, tape the race and then watch it later.  What would you have done if the race would have started at 1:00am?  Stayed up the entire night since the race would have ended around 5:30am.

I believe you can read my similiarly angry emotions about the terrible decision making on NASCAR's part in my post above.

They bungled this one from start to finish.
