NASCAR on Pay Per View


I have resorted to TiVoing the NASCAR races so that I don't have to watch the commercials. I hate when the networks break during pit stops, long runs, etc. to go to commercial. I want to watch the pit stops. I also hate it when something important happens and you have to watch it on replay because we were watching a "Big Boy" (male enhancement) commercial instead of the big pass on the track.

Now, I understand the need for commercials. The bills have to be paid. But what if NASCAR teamed up with Pay-Per-View? I personally would pay to watch Talledaga or Daytona without commercials.

People pay to watch boxing, basketball, etc. on Pay-Per-View. The networks are already filming the entire race. The announcers are already there (unless these are bathroom breaks). Fans would get to see the entire race and not miss any action.

Maybe I would TiVo the Pay-Per-View. I like to pause to take my own breaks.
