Duels, All-Star race to be shown online

Quote :

Duels, All-Star race to be shown online: The Gatorade Duel qualifying races next month at Daytona and the All-Star race in May will be shown online for the first time. Both races, broadcast by Speed Channel, can be seen on NASCAR.com. More Cup races could follow, according to Scott Doyne, senior director for business operations at NASCAR.com. Doyne said there are "active talks" with other networks to air their races online. Fans can expect something similar to NASCAR.com's Race Buddy, which shows the six TNT races online. That allows fans to see four camera angles of the race. Fans viewing the qualifying races and all-star race online, though, will not hear the Speed broadcasters. The only sound online will be in-car audio and that of the cars. There will be no fee to view the race online. It is meant to complement Speed's broadcasts of those events.(Hampton Roads)(1-21-2010)

they should do that for any race not shown on regular tv

I'm sure that it's all up to the networks themselves if they want to allow NASCAR.com to do that. Also, I think it would be better if it were the actual TV broadcast and not just the camera angles (although the alternate camera angles are cool too).

Also read that the Inside NASCAR show on Showtime will be available for free online for those who don't get Showtime.

I agree with you both.
