I never liked NASCAR. LOVE Indy racing!
Then a friend of mine who can no longer go to Daytona because of poor health was asking about DirecTV. I checked and they had a "FREE" NASCAR preview race from Daytona last Fall, so I invited him and his wife over to watch.
They had 7 channels for each of 5 different racers, the main feed with speed, RPM, inside car cams and the TNT feed. Only the TNT feed had commercials. Stewart was one channel and it showed, without commercials, his car from three different angles and the live feed from TNT in split screen format. Glad I had a big screen TV. We could switch between driver channels or the TNT feed with a click of the remote and the directional keys to select the desired channel.
TNT feed was HD but the driver channels were standard definition and not HD, but still interesting, especially when it was time to pit. We could also hear the audio between the drivers and their crews, uncensored. Very little "adult language" BTW even when one of them crashed. If one crashes they switch to another driver in the race that they have as a backup.
I guess they have different drivers each race, but still pick the ones who are the cream of the crop.
Needless to say, I picked up the package for the remainder of the season.
