Listening to Weege on the Pulp show talk about how it's not big deal to miss the LCQ for car racers.
He might be missing the fact there was 116 commercials for the 3 hour broadcast.
Commercial time was more than TV racing time in this watchers opinion.
I understand I can't have everything, but missing a race so you can make shit tons more money is cheating the fans.

. Just hope that my gut feeling which is all this is is just that.
Would be good to see Red Bull step up and pump more into the outdoor series so DC can take it to Feld and hold his ground not increasing the rounds but at least keeping what he has.
Before you know it, race is over!
Everyone's entertained, you get to see 250 LCQ, and Nascar/NHRA/etc. get more exposure.
116 commercials?
When you're at the race and wondering why there are so many breaks just remember 116 commercials take a long time to air.
If a commercial is 100k to have air on FS1 then someone made some serious money.
Can someone explain how the commercial money works and who gets it? Does Feld get the TV commercial money?
1. The event/promoter pays for the broadcast time and for the production cost and then have the right to sell commercial time. Normally the network will negotiate how much of the 8 minutes per half hour they will keep. Local cable/dish regions have a certain amount of time per half hour reserved that is sold to your local non national broadcasters. This is predominantly how motocross and Supercross TV functioned in the past.
2. The way that Supercross is now done is that Fox pays for the production and buys the rights for all 17 Feld promoted SX races (16SX and MonsterCup) then Fox sells the commercial time for all 8 minutes per half hour. Part of these negotiations also is combining Feld's Supercross partner's 30 second spots. Companies like Monster, Kawasaki, Toyota and Progressive buy both national commercials and event/series sponsorship. Feld is now paid money by Fox to broadcast SX (last I saw was $4 Million per year starting in 2014 for 5 years). That is why there are more restrictions on Internet feeds. Fox is trying to recoup their investment in SX. Fox is an advertising company, so they will try and put a logo on every single segment and squeeze more in broadcast ads.
why Nascar sucks
I remember watching an entire race of RV helmet cam. It was like he was alone on the track. And he wasn't out front.
The sport needs someone brilliant to reinvent how it is shot for TV and how it's commentated. Watching lap times only is often more compelling than the broadcast.
SX suffers from the same problems some what. I remember the days of audio webcast and lap times! Rockin'. None of this "the battle for 8th, now the battle for 10th .... battle for 12th", every race. No matter what is happening at the front.
