Tonight's race coverage on TNT

The very worst in 30yrs of televised coverage.The stupid pop-up commercial boxes on the bottom right every 5mins are just plain distracting to say the least.TNT calls this commercial free because they don't actually break away from the race.There are actually more commercials.

Lame job TNT.Very lame.

Daytona.My boy is leading and I actually want to change the channel.

The last two commercials weren't even 30 secs apart.

Being a Carl Edwards fan and my wife being a Jeff Gordon fan - the race turned out great! All race long Jeff was able to find the gas peddle - EXCEPT FOR THE LAST LAP lucky he didnt create a bigger wreck

He is obviously a talented driver but why do you like Carl Edwards?

I had to stop watching after 40 min of a commercial/sponsor every 4-5 minutes.
What a loss, put it on speed.

I watched Carl through the Busch series and come up in to Sprint, I originally was a Mark Martin fan and when he scaled back with Roush I began to pull for Carl - little did I know Mark would not retire and end up switching owners like underwear.

What I like about Carl is he is pretty humble, not flashy, and has the respect of a lot of drivers - including Jeff Gordon even after this past week.

TNT better not go with that format again tonight.Chicago can be a fairly mundane race,TNT doesn't need to add to it.
