cool... I will be watching.. with AOL track pass and Direct TV extra coverage.. 3 screens and 2 computers... no room for any Sirius coverage at my house.
NASCAR is not a Radio Sport. Qualifying was... not the race.

NASCAR was only a radio sport when Ex-M had it.
*rolleyes*

That is very impressive coverage. I really am looking forward to the separate channels for the individual drivers. Wish XM had done that instead of the scanner channel that simply was useless.

NASCAR not a radio sport? There has always been top-notch radio coverage of NASCAR races via MRN and PRN affiliated stations. Of course you can get the in-car via Trackpass too.
But not having to pay an additional fee for in-car via Sirius is great.
