The scarest part of the NASCAR stuff is the "Channel within a Channel"
NASCAR TV idea. Per this months Grassroots Motorsports, weeknights from 3pm
to 12am (Eastern) will be the NASCAR TV time (so 9 hours of nascar
everyday). I just don't care about recipes of NASCAR wives or whatever other
drivel they will have to use to fill the time (because you can't spend 9
hours a day talking about carburetors and top loader transmissions from the
50's and 60's.
