With the broadcast scheduled to end at the same time as the event schedule, it looks like the pro finals should be live.

I'll have to remember to set the TIVO to run extra long.

Yeah, I always add about an hour to my DVR, seems there's always a basketball game, softball, proffesional square dancing or some other "sport" on prior to the race that delays the drags. Then you get to the final round and the DVR shuts off because you had the stop time where it was scheduled

It seems to me the bigger problem is NHRA running long. A few oil down delays could be a real problem.
ESPN seems to start NHRA whenever they get around to it, but never end it over the purchased time. If NHRA buys two hours, they get at most two hours.
When it starts late because something else ran long, sometimes NHRA is allowed to run long by the same amount, sometimes they get truncated to get the next show to start on time. I can't recall it ever running long without some rescheduled show in the next day or so (which I assume NHRA pays for).
