Always. I've never seen Speed cover this thing worth a damn. They don't find the really good racing - they find their prescribed stories - Ganassi, Nascar stars, movie stars...

If i were a Porsche guy I'd be really ticked - GT3s are tearing it up but they are showing everything but.

After 23 hours you can throw a blanket over the top 4 DP teams.

This has been a great race for the Prototypes.

What's happening with the cars that look like production cars? Did they quit racing?

No reason for them to ignore the other class.

As bad as NASCAR coverage is, it's better than this.

i`ve been to both nascar and the 24 hr race. watching the 24 hr race is alot more relaxing and nowhere near the same crowd sizes. at the 24hr race you can watch the race just about any where you want to. they usually dont have more the 10 -15 k in fans at this race.
