In an on-line piece, Forbes Magazine wrote about the possibility of the NFL adding two more franchises bringing a total of teams to 34 with the possible return of the NFL to Los Angeles.
As a matter of fact, links on Jayski.com back in ’06 had similar stories appearing in USA Today, Winston-Salem Journal and Sporting News connecting NASCAR’s Brian France to Magic Johnson and the latter’s efforts to bring an NFL franchise back to LA.
The stories, though, had Brian denying any possible involvement. Continue reading “TV Times: Is There Football in Brian France’s Future?“

A February, 2011, press release from Daytona revealed that the move of the Daytona 500 to the final weekend of this February was done at the recommendation of Fox Sports, the broadcaster of the first group of races before TNT picks up the baton. The change was done not so much as to sidestep the ever-expanding NFL playoffs and Super Bowl, but to prevent the one weekend gap in March which the Fox Network felt that stopped the NASCAR TV ratings momentum! This year there will be NASCAR races every weekend through mid-November, with the exception of the Easter and Mother’s Day weekends.

While NASCAR has taken steps to improve its Sprint Cup events, there are a number of issues that paying customers still are unhappy with, such as the l-e-n-g-t-h of the 500 mile events. Most feel that they are way too long. Many end up as an economy run. Fans do not consider them to be real racing.

From what transpired during practice sessions at Daytona International Speedway last week, it appears that tandem racing (otherwise known as “Shall we dance?”) could be on the way out. We certainly hope so, as do many others. Continue reading “TV Times: Daytona… From “Shall We Dance?” Back To “Mosh Pit”?“

Over the past years, a big disconnect between competitors and fans in NASCAR seems to have happened.
Why can’t drivers be a major factor once again in getting more Sprint Cup fans to attend races as they did before?

Was moving the Daytona 500 race from Washington’s Birthday weekend to the following Sunday a good idea or not? Sure, it moved NASCAR’s biggest event from the same weekend as the Super Bowl so it wouldn’t get lost in the TV viewing shuffle, yet some unintended consequences occurred. Just ask those diehard NASCAR fans who purchased time shares during that week in order to attend the 500 how they now feel. Lots of loud and angry complaints. Not very happy.
