TV Times: The Daytona 500 Marathon Is Finally Over

Lou Modestino's TV TimesThe long drawn out SpeedWeeks at Daytona are finally over, coming to a merciful end at 1 a.m. on Tuesday.

Weatherwise, things went well in the preliminary events, but the destruction of lower division race cars were numerous, about 60, according the talking heads in the announcers’ booth.

More crashes in the rain-delayed 500 only added to the carnage.

In all, there’ll be work for team members back in the race shops that could take months to fix.

TV Times Extra: Duels at Daytona

Lou Modestino's TV TimesThe two Gatorade Duels at Daytona lived up to the pre-race hype. The fact that the two events are just 60 laps each insured the fact that there wouldn’t be any sandbagging or laying back just to catch the caution breaks.

TV Times: Daytona 500 Moved Just For The TV Ratings

Lou Modestino's TV TimesA 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.

TV Times: NASCAR Torques Race Fans With Change To Daytona Race Dates

Lou Modestino's TV Times
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.
