I already miss the TNT TV coverage of the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona... this weekends race at NH had way too many commercials to the point of destroying the flow and interest of the race... too boring... my wife rubbed it in with her new tee shirt with a spoof of the NASCAR logo "BORING" that she got at http://nascarwidows.com... the race brought the point home and I might have to buy me one too.
