Stream Cup 2014 begins next weekend,make sure to pay your internet bills.Todays race was a good one,the monster mile lives up to its rep again.

[MISHI]

well this was Fox's last broadcast and we don't get it on any other channel in Tobago after that so it's the post race news that I'll have to see.

Just stream it like we do every year,will put up links.

[MANIAC]

And Jimmie does it again .. .. was a damn good race though ..... The only guy which would have given Jimmie a run would have been Harvick but again, pit worries for him ....

Yes please, put up the links ... Hopefully next year it will be aired fully on Fox, Fox Sports1 and ABC ....

[SRASC]

Nah, no ABC for sure. The TV contract for NASCAR has already been signed for 2015 & beyond, better since both Blink & Flow offer all 4 channels, unlike the current deal where neither has TNT or ESPN (re: Sprint Cup Series)

FOX - 58 (Flow), 126 (Blink)
FS1 - 78 (Flow), 304 (Blink)
NBC - 60 (Flow), 128 (Blink)
NBCSN - 161 (Flow), 312 (Blink)

2015–2024: Future: Fox stays & NBC returns
On October 15, 2012, NASCAR and the Fox Sports Media Group (FSMG) announced a new $2.4 billion eight-year deal, a 30% increase from their previous deal. On July 23, 2013, NASCAR and the NBC Sports Group announced a new $4.4 billion ten-year deal 10 days later on August 1, 2013, NASCAR and Fox extended and expanded their agreement, paying an additional $1.4 billion to do so, to complete NASCAR's new TV package through the 2024 season. The new contract ends a partnership of 30 years with Turner Sports and NASCAR. NBC reportedly bid over 50% more than ESPN and Turner for their portion of the package, despite Turner & ESPN expressing interest about continuing their relationship with NASCAR.

As long as you have the patience to play ad killer.

[brickman]

Almost forgot race buddy
http://www.nascar.com/racebuddy

Yea only issue is ads this time,wasnt like this last year,guess they got a new way to detect ad blocker now.Sadly no skysports commercial free stream either.

[SRASC]

I'm sure TNT going to take another lambasting about their ticker & in particular the banner at the top which is actually thicker than the ticker.

Not as bad as the treatment FOX got earlier in the year for their side ticker though.

Their old one was much better & simpler.

[brickman]

Jr nation celebrates

[SRASC]

They know they stole one. Congrats regardless. 4 wins for HMS in a row. Damn for Kasey though. Guy can't catch a break this year.

Side note: Kurt Busch: 36 on NBC airing now.

[ru$$ell]

congrats JR! see you in Chernarus

[MANIAC]

Yep, HMS again - was hoping my driver made it 3 in a row but it was not to be ..... Instead we will take the Chase Cup lol .... but that young Rookie Kyle Larson in the top 5 ....

[brickman]

Michigan....

[SRASC]

Jeff Gordon of old this season. Hope to see Jeff of 2007 (wins) & 2001 (Championship). Hell Jeff of 1998 would be even better.

[SRASC]

HMS 1-2-3-4-5. All in top 10. Looking like its a matter of which of those 4 taking it this year.

[MANIAC]

I hope Johnson wins the cup to have 7 championships and match with Petty and Earnhardt
