Isn't Roger Werner gone now that Fox has taken 100% ownership. I think his departure is one of the factors that's made viewers nervous.

Oh shit, that article makes it sound real bad.

[QUOTE]Qualifying runs, highlight shows and replays of classic races will provide ample NASCAR programming, up to 12 hours daily. Lesser-known NASCAR series will also be featured. The rest of the schedule will come from open-wheel racing, automotive shows and more.

wow, 12 hours of NASCAR! I'm excited! I can't believe it. I mean, you know, I used to watch my fav, Dick Trickle, he'd be going around that track following those guys neck and neck, or rather bumper to bumper, but I can still feel the rush, the exciting part of the track, when they start off, they go into the first corner and make a left, then round out through the second corner, no, not there yet, and then the third corner, and well, not there yet, and round out to the fourth corner, and well, then they come blazing through the start / finish line, isn't that great? but its not over yet, they do that another 300 times, then they finish, so its not really a 'finish' line just yet. Ahh, I can still hear the roaring V8's and screeching drum brakes and the smell of bud lite in the stands. ahhh, boy do I miss those days.
