Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core

Everybody that runs a sportsman car needs to e-mail ESPN and let them know their is more then pros at the drag races as the rotten scums couldn't leave the live broadcasting on ESPN 3 for another 15 minutes so people could watch the finals of the rest of the sportsman classes. I know I dont get on a rant to much but this pissed me off and heck i was there.

They cut it off at 6:02............ probably some contractual thing.... it is a shame. While the track cleaners were making their laps, you could see them backing the sportsman cars out of the way and bringing the pros up to the front.

Joe,
I'm sure NHRA has editorial input with ESPN and we are already know they feel about sportsman.

Does this mean we won't see the finals on the Lucas Oil show next weekend? I can't imagine they stopped recording, just stopped broadcasting.

ESPN can leave underwater basket weaving on long enough to cut into NHRA coverage, but can't showcase the"backbone" of NHRA drag racing? What a crock of S*it!

I agree 100%.

The entire show was so drawn out, they could have at least shown more than the final round of the Hemi Challenge. Its all about the Fuel classes. Even Pro Stock coverage sucked.

BTW I think Greg Anderson is a classless deuchebag. I felt he was celebrating in his teammates face. I understand he won the biggest race of the year, but he celebrated in a classless manner.
