In first round, the Yella Fellas had trouble with both their primary and backup starter sets. Hagen's guys (right behind them in the lanes) rushed their starter and battery pack up to the DHL team and they were able to get their car started in time to make the run. Just awesome!

 

[TSK]

I doubt any other major motorsport would see a similar incident.
But, once again, I can’t watch today’s race because DirecTV hasn’t carried the big Fox network at all this year.
Same thing for Dish customers.
Fox wants to blame the two satellite providers, saying they can’t agree on how much to pay Fox for broadcast rights.
If only one provider couldn’t reach an agreement, I would believe Fox.
But, since both providers haven’t reached an agreement, I’d say Fox is wanting too big of an increase.

I am recording it on Dish as we speak. It must be your local provider.

My buddy down the road has Dish and the big Fox channel is not available to him.

Well, this sort of behavior was completely contrary to what Pacific Raceways’ owner was trying to have. I think he’d have been a lot happier if the Hagan team hadn’t loaned the starter and the DHL team started a fistfight with them as a result !

Maybe a "Pick the Fight" game here? What if you have bad picks for the race? What would be the point payout for the winner?

So, we're just going to ignore the back and forth going on between the two drivers?

Rivalry, Smack talk. That would be good for attention/ ratings and fan base also. The fans will want to tune for the next race to see what happens.

I agree 100%. I was just shocked that it hadn't been mentioned yet.

JR is not scared to throw down. I think that is what Connie likes about him

I've always respected Dickie and the whole Matt Hagan team. This just solidifies my respect for them.

Throw down what? Miller Lites?

Go buy a cheap HDTV antenna, FOX is free.

Give it a try! HD over air reception is different from standard, you either get a perfect picture or pixilation, nothing in between. New ATSC 3.0 (Gen3) broadcast standard is coming soon

Just make sure you find out first if you local Fox station broadcasts on UHF or VHF. Most local stations are UHF and most antennas are optimized for UHF only. A few — such as the ABC affiliate in Philly — broadcast on VHF and you need the correct type of antenna to get their signal.

I pay $72.99 a month for youtube tv which carries Fox. This year I spent $149.99 and subscribed to NHRA.TV. I like it but way more than I can possibly watch. You get all four days from the time the track open's till it close's, just like being there. Every single class and Alan Reinhardt is the main announcer. And they archive all the races along with extra shows.

Seems interesting that JR ran low et and top speed of the meet on that particular run and it wasn't mentioned even once
