NASCAR will conduct a special teleconference at 3:00pm/et this afternoon with NASCAR CEO Brian France, FOX Sports Chair David Hill, David Levy of Turner, and John Skipper of ESPN. Speculation is that they will announce more uniform race start times for next season.(10-7-2009) |

You know it'll be something like 2:45 pm so they can get 1.5 hours of prerace and then 15 minutes of warmup laps/opening ceremonies. Instead of green flag dropping around 12:45 or 1 pm. |

I hope not. The article makes it sound like the green flag is gonna drop around 1:15 or 1:20, but I may have read it wrong. |

Lets bring back some of the older drivers to. Like Dale Jarrett, Richard Petty, Rusty Wallace, and even Mark Mart-oh wait ![]() Really though I like this a lot. I think they should have the last 3 or 4 chase races start at 3 so it can get more in with the prime time scheduele, but other than that I love that we'll be seeing good start times for the most part once again. Awesome move |

I say really go ol school, tape delay coverage on ABC's Wide World of Sports and races where the winner wins by two laps. ![]() And make damn sure those hippies cut their hair or they wont be allowed into the track.

The 500 is supposed to end during the day I thought the day to night there was gay. Glad they did this I think it is a great move. |
