NASCAR discussion interest.
Don't move it to Armchair you evil mod people.
Who will actually have Busch coverage for the remaining races? |

Have TV coverage but, if I didn't, I would certainly pay a small fee to watch online.

I get race repeats on Monday evening. I wish it was live.
Wouldn't pay for streaming as it doesn't work consistently. |

I'd pay to watch the streaming providing the price was right and I could do it on an "as and when" basis.
In the university, I have good internet access that ensures the streaming is good quality. The reason I didn't buy Pay-per-view A1GP last year was because in my accommodation the bandwith of the flats often was stretched and I knew I wouldn't get good coverage - that's the difference. That, and the two races I have watched this year have been fantastic. I'm hooked again, as I was when I was at home with a Sky Box, MotorsTV, and regular coverage (which, I realised earlier when the commented on 2002 Champion Greg Biffle, was five-years ago. Scary....) |

We have seen all races live on either Fox 1, 2 or 3 so far. Most of the races were live last year too, although the day races are at an ungodly hour (5.30am for this one) if you are in Australia. Same with the Nextel.
I always make sure I put the DVD Recorder on as well (in case I sleep through). Unlike the Nextel coverage, the Busch coverage is VERY leader-biased and very Cup driver-centric as well. Very few of the Busch regulars have been sighted in the 3 races so far and the coverage rarely, if ever, goes back through the field. Quite disappointing because you then rely on the ticker to see where people are. I understand that they want to feature the big stars but it would be nice to know a bit about the rookies and some of the Busch regulars - there's plenty about the Cup drivers everywhere so it's not as if they are under exposed. Surely the sponsors of those aforementioned cars could get a better deal with the coverage too. |

One other thing - we used to get the Truck series about 5 or 6 years ago but we don't any more.
Is there any other way of getting this on the net? |

I voted. Was that a mistake on my part since the poll was probably meant for non-U.S. people.

I have "As live" coverage on NASN (I hope they will do live coverage in the near future).

You'll have to excuse my dimness but what is "FTW" in this context??
Anyway, there's not an option for me in this vote. I would watch Busch coverage but don't want to watch it on a PC and don't want to pay for NASN. Last year's Motors coverage was brilliant - but I'm not prepared to pay for the privilege. |

NASN is now justifiable if you are into your NASCAR I feel. When it was just Cup, I was reasonably happy that I could see the races but annoyed at the cost.
Now that it has Cup and Busch coverage it's excellent. And the NASCAR Now shows are excellent! Well worth it. Certainly compared to, for example, PPV offerings like Prem+. |

As for me, well, it's really a mixed bag. I don't watch the Busch races on a regular basis, usually the more standout ones (Mexico City, this year Montreal, the superspeedways, etc), so if I do decide to, I have a friend with Satellite (and and HD reciever ) that invites me over to watch the race with her. But since I don't watch too many of the Busch races through cable, it doesn't really make it that much of a nuisance for my friend. |

In case you were wondering I was trying to see how much of this fantastic Busch support was down to the free streaming.

I've been watching it on Foxtel, the main reason I watch is to see how Marcos Ambrose is doing so it can be a touch annoying that they only show the leaders as he is still a couple back but hopefully that will change.

As with the other UK posters I get NASN/NASN2 on Sky - as long as they keep showing the Cup live I'm a subscriber, the Busch races are a bonus, shame they aren't live.
