Here's an article that talks about this:\n\nNEW YORK -- Ratings for ABC's coverage of Miami's victory over Dallas in the NBA Finals were up 12 percent over last year's series.\n\nThe six-game average rating was an 8.5, surpassing the 7.6 the network drew for San Antonio's victory over Detroit last year. The games drew an average of 13 million viewers, 13 percent higher than last season's average of 11.5.\n\nThe 10.1 rating for Miami's series-clinching victory Tuesday night was up 15 percent from the 8.8 that Game 6 drew last year.

I think it works prettw well, however I think drivers and owners should be rewarded for qualifying also.  So I think the pole position should be worth 20 points 2nd 15, 3rd 8, 4th 7, 5th 6, 6th 5, 7th 4, 8th 3, 9th 2, 10th 1.  Then you'll see some really good crew chiefs.  No sandbaggers.

Sure...it's a small NASCAR fix, but at least it's a FIX! One week from the last race and I'm already Jonesin'!\n\nAnother long, cold, NASCARless winter...it sucks.\n\nWhat really made the year better was the fantasy racing. We used to do a deal called "Kafenatid". The guy that ran the site hung it up, but we made our own, with an Excel prog and "kafenatid's" rules (1 Ford, 1 Chevy, 1 Dodge and 3 Wildcards). You accumulate the points that the drivers earn. I kicked-ass again! ; ) All done by email and the deadline for picks is noon on race day. Not sure what to do about Toyota entering the arena...hate to validate them with their own slot.\n\nGITIT!\nrounder

your best bet would be to go to daytona website and look to see what parking passes you can purchase still. most big races like that are starting to pre-sell tickets for parking..and waiting utnil the day of the race will be disastrous..

unfortunately, probably not. i see 3 of them up there, and the 25 in close range.but i don't see all 4 of them up there. \ni hope that jeff can at least be up there..like maybe even top 5, or heck, a win.. \nwe all know that unless someone completely totals his car out jimmie will be there, and strong bets that kyle will be up there.

If Kerry Earnhardt did come up to the next level I almost bet he will drive number 8. Why I say that is because Dale Jr. (just a rumor now) wants to drive the number 3 car. His step mother said no that she wants to retire the number 3 but Jr. wants to drive his late fathers car number 3 this coming next season.\n I can see his step mothers point on wanting to retire the legends Number but then again I can see why Jr. wants to keep that #3 racing again in memory of his father.

A definate toss up. Johnson has the experience and what it takes, but the tires and re-surfaced track, combined with the huge change in starting during the day at ending later at night--sun, tire temp, track temp, car handling, air temp---these are all factors to consider. I love Jr. and I think Stewart is also a contender, but I have a feeling it will be an underdog or somebody that comes from out of the blue the last 50 laps or so. I have a bad feeling that we are going to see a bunch of wrecks that ruin cars or completely take out the best drivers, because other drivers are acting stupid. Happy Hour tonight will be a good way to see how tomorrow will play out!!! It will be great to watch---the beer is chilling and the food will be cooked---I just wish it was tonight and not tomorrow!!! Boogity Boogity Boogity boys, LET'S GO RACIN'!!!!!

I'd start with NASCAR.Com. If that does not work, try Silly Season.com. This is a site that has nothing but NASCAR news and rumors. \n\nI didn't hear their show today, so I'm not sure what else to tell you. You could e-mail the show and see if they can give you more details.

If and when they switch to the Car of Tomorrow, Nascar will then be a lot like Iroc. I have mixed feelings about it though. On the one hand, it will even the playing field. On the other hand, It takes away the manufacturers rivalry.

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/13645589/\n\nUpdated: 23 minutes ago\n\nDAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Dale Earnhardt Jr. returned to Daytona’s Victory Lane for the first time in more than two years, winning the Busch Series race Friday night.\n\nEarnhardt took the lead early and dominated the rest of the way, holding off Brian Vickers after a late restart in the Winn-Dixie 250.\n\nVickers finished second, followed by series point leader Kevin Harvick, pole-sitter J.J. Yeley and Carl Edwards......

Jeff has a chance to pull it off but I don't see it happening this year.  To much has happened to the rainbow wariors this season.  I dont see the machine as being at 100%.  I thing that once the team clicks, they will once again raise the cup.\n\nAs for this year, Jimmie is on fire, like he has been for the past couple of years.  He has been so close so many times and just missed out.  His team seems to be at their best right now.  Unless the bottom falls out, I think he is going to be a hard one to beat.  He is thinking beyond each race and looking at the whole picture.  I have my money on him.\n\nThere are a number of others who are not going to let him take it easy.  It is looking like the reast of the season is going to be as good as the begining.

I like Martin.  He's a great driver, and even though he's getting up there in age, he's still doing really well!  He's a nice guy, and he doesn't start much trouble - plus he's earned the respect of all of the driver's, so you don't hear bad things about him too often.  Even when he wrecks, and is done for the day, he isn't disappointed.  He always seems to be in a good mood.  He's always having a good time, and that's what NASCAR is about in the first place.  I'm a Jr. fan, but I have major respect for Mark.  He's a great driver, and definitely one of my favorites.

Harder tires combined with resurfacing is making the track very different than last year. Look at qualifying order. Some of those guys got lucky and probably will not last the first 100 laps. I have a bad feeling that there are going to be a lot of big wrecks and a lot of upset drivers after this race. Plus, it starts when it's light out and goes well into dark, so that is also going to change the track conditions and car set up. Things will change during practice, too. It will be a good one to watch. I can't wait!!!

The track pass dosent let you physically watch the race.  It is timing and scoring, and in car audio.  As far as I know, there is no live feed online.

NASCAR FANS are like a big family, if you need something at the track, & someone has extra, it is givin to ya', no matter who you root for...........I don't think the people in England have the knowledge of the stock car's capabilities......TOO MUCH OPEN WHEEL......For NASCAR you need to understand drafting, wedge, tire pressure, 100 MPH tape...ETC to really understand it................GLAD YOU ENJOYED YOURSELF, GOOD LUCK...............NASCAR # 1....
