Commercial Cup?

My god! NBC/TNT usually shows a ton of commercials, but it’s getting riduculous today. I swear … I’ve seen more commercials than I have race today. This is TALLADEGA, for crying out loud. I wanna see the damn race. Thank goodness the race is on the radio, ‘cuz I’m getting more info from that than from the TV. I’m half tempted to leave the TV on mute for the entire race and just listen to the radio.

I know that I’m not the only fan who feels this way. Over on the PitBoard, they feel the same.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Dale Jr has a flat tire. Damn! And he was running so good today.

UPDATE - 3:17pm
I think I panicked too early. The rest of the field pitted not too long after Dale Jr had to come in for the tire. Maybe everything will be okay.

UPDATE - 3:35pm
Dale Jr ended up going a lap down due to the flat tire, but not any more. Debris caution just came out and Dale Jr is back on the lead lap. Lucky Dog baby!! The rest of the field better look out. Dale Jr’s got a pretty stout car today. Hopefully no more tire issues for the rest of the race (or any other mechanical issues).
