Yeah, the first couple hours which I taped and then it switched to FS2 which I don't get. I guess I can pick it up on streaming, so I may try that.

It's always tough to watch night racing, even when you are there. Did a few laps in a Porche, a Audi, and the Ford. Watched a replay of the lead Porsche and lead Corvette take each other out. As much as I'd love to own a Porsche I always root for the Vette. Good luck #4. Milner's due. 2 hours to go.

I watched it on and off through the afternoon, the rain was a real PIA.

What a pain in the ass 'streaming on Fox sports was'! I had been watching it off and on myself as it neared the end. When I returned to the PC to watch the final half-hour or so the only streaming available was 4-in car cameras. The main feed with announcers had been removed and it a message came up saying to contact your internet provider as it was not available without subscription... or something to that effect. To which I thought FY.

Yeah, the coverage was frustrating from the start. And switching to NASCAR early on sucked big time

Dave I believe that the last hour was back on FS2. Comcast probably does not have an agreement with FS to stream live programming, and I think that's what you may have been seeing.

From what "I read" it was a great finish to see, even after 12 hrs. But, it couldn't have beat the NASCAR Xfinity series in CA that I taped by accident thinking it was Indy car. The last lap was wild!
