Well that a bunch of shit! I feel sorry for the mid west and east coast fans. Gotta stay up until 2:30 am to see the mains? How will this help viewers? We on the west coast will have to stay up untill 11:30. That's pretty freakin late to watch racing. which by the way leaves the only reasonabe option to watch it the next day in SD anyhow! So WTF Feld!

"How will this help viewers?"

I don't have Fox Sports 2 nor do I want to pay $10 because it's still in standard definition on Verizon in Dallas.

Now I do get to watch it. I'll be the "more viewers group." See?

**I'll take that over 1 week delay or waking up at 4am to watch F1 or MXGP (which I do). It's all in perspective. If you want to watch it you will find the time. BTW, the F1 race will also be coming on at 1AM central time so we will be competing with the opening round of F1 that night for the main events.

It helps viewers because half of us don't get FS2. 11:30 on a Saturday is better than 12 AM Monday like in the past.

Better on FS1 a few hours late than live on FS2 where most people can't watch it.
