NASCAR and the NFL are a lot alike. I wrote here about the pre-game hypage for SB XLI. Not to be outdone, here’s the pre-Daytona 500 coverage, all times EST:
The FOX coverage also includes about an hour of pre-race hype; the green flag flies around 3:15. Also not included was ESPN2’s airing of the movie 3 at 8:00 this morning, as well as SPEEDtv’s marathon 70+ hours of broadcasting from Speed Weeks.
I plan to ass up and watch all the action on the new big teevee, and tune to one of the NASCAR HotPass channels (794 - 799 on DirecTV), to see a race as never before.
And, on this date in 2001, Dale Earnhardt was killed on the last lap of the 500. Another reason the racing’s not the same.
