RE: [ST] Daytona 200

["Harries, Mort" <mort.harries@xxxxxx>]

I had some time yesterday so I watched the race on SpeedTV.  Could they have
done a worse job of it?  This was a taped race.  This was not live, but they
managed to break away for commercials at all the wrong times, and leave out
some of the most exciting parts of the race.  

Example:  In the early part of the race DuHamel was way out in front, being
chased by 3 or 4 other guys (Yates, Bostrom, Roberts, I think).  Then there
was a commercial break.  When the race came back on DuHamel was in 4th
place.  Whaaat!!

There were a number of similar badly timed commercial breaks.  I mean c'mon;
when you're showing a taped race, you can move the breaks to the boring
parts.  It really spoiled the whole race for me.

Ended up that some of the best parts of the race were the quite funny Yamaha
commercials........

Well, I just have a quick question: I am sitting here watching the Daytona
200 on SpeedTV and see all the big names: DuHamel, B. Bostrom, E. Bostrom,
Gobert, Yates, etc, but no Nickey Hayden.  What series is he racing in this
year?

PS: Please do not tell me the winner as I have yet to watch this.
