sc49erfan15 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 They probably raked in a good rating tonight. Congrats to Matt Kenseth, had him in our fantasy pool as well!I had Matt Kenseth, 83 crashes, 2 rainouts, a jet engine explosion, and a green-white-checker finish... so I extra-win!

oddball Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 NASCAR should seriously consider permanently running Daytona in prime time on Monday. I thought it worked pretty well tonight.I disagree. I hated when they ran it late, and it just felt like another race. The 500 should be run at noon EST and finish with the winner basking in the sun (when it doesn't rain). There are way too many night races and there is nothing special about them anymore. Nascar should limit night races to the Coke 600, the second Bristol race, and the second Richmond race with Darlington moved back to Labor Day, not the weekend, Labor Day.

Mr. Aware Eagle Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Looks like I got the early lead in our fantasy pool! I knew Biff and Kenseth would help me out. Yes, I root for teams all over the place. And I apparently favor birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Alright, so the 2013 500 is going to have a volcano eruption, rogue yak stampede, UFO encounter, the Loch Ness Monster will emerge from Lake Lloyd, and it will be won by the pace car driver. Calling it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't seem like the Daytona 500 (partially due to it being a Monday). It just seemed like any other race to me. It almost felt like I was watching the Richmond race before the chase.

See Red Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I agree with that. It didn't feel like the Daytona 500 to me, either. Maybe it's that my memories of watching the race as a child were always on a Sunday afternoon, but I don't like it under the lights. I don't mind it finishing under the lights, but keep the start in the afternoon unless circumstances like this year force it into a late start.

DEAD! Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm used to an afternoon Daytona 500, much like the Indy 500. Besides, Daytona already has a night race. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah I'm with you guys on that. The race felt like the July night race until lap 160, then after Montoya made the jet dryer go boom it felt like the Bud Shootout.Also, as much as it was nice to see pack racing back, the top line wasn't able to do anything last night. It was impossible for anybody to really make a charge late in the race Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I can say that, as a casual observer, I really like the idea of night races on weeknights. In the summer, when all there is is baseball, I wouldn't mind it at all. Hell, I'd probably even get into it again for the first time since I was a wee little kid. I can't speak for other people, but on Sundays or Saturday Nights I have a bunch of other things I'd rather do than watch Nascar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Early overnight ratings.Last years race had a 15.5 million viewers.Pretty respectable due to it being run on a Monday night and didn't end until 1am ET.

However, the race earned a larger overnight than both the Orange Bowl (4.5) and Sugar Bowl (6.3) on ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicageaux Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 According to this Yahoo Sports article, it was a big hit.Neither rain nor fire ruined NASCAR?s marquee show"36.5 million viewers, up 22 percent from 30 million last year." -- Not bad at all.

infrared41 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 On the Speed pre-race show they said that last week's Daytona 500 was the most watched ever on FOX. Maybe my idea of moving it to Monday night isn't as bad as you all think. Anyway, for the CCSLC SCC League...Red 41 Racing: 2, 48, 29, 9, 55.
