Now with all that out of the way.....Let's make some laps!
There is one really easy way they will put the tour on the channel.
Nascar needs to buy the package of time they want and sell off all the advertising for it.
Regional and small racing series don't stand a chance on TV in the long run. What the channel needs is whatever advertising that isn't sold to be purchased by nascar.
USAR has televised their races this way for years, simply buying 2.5 hours of airtime advertising per showing. I'm sure if their sponsors and the series could handle it, Nascar could to, if they wanted to. Nascar seems like the type that doesn't want to or would want it to work the other way and end up getting paid by the channel to air it's product.
Everyone seems to think a TV package is something hard to do. It isn't if Na$car wanted to be possibly on the hook every week to advertise all of it's series.
