Why is who-13 ramming nascar down our throats?

[AdRock4Cy]

Recently Who-13 local news has been promoting nascar races. This am they were previewing a race in Vegas. I don’t get it. Are they directed to do those segments by their owner?

Every time I see they are going to start talking nascar I flip to KCCI.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Maybe because Iowa’s men’s basketball sucks, and CC isn’t playing for the Iowa women’s bb. Or Chris W is now program director.

Would rather see that than a commercial for Liberty Mutual insurance, any type of medicine, or State Farm with CC in it.

Thought it was odd on the noon news the other day.

My impression is that NASCAR must be doing some promotions with them.

NBC have nascar now? thats probably why

Fox and NBC have been splitting NASCAR for a few years now. But NBC doesn't get it until half way through the season. At least that's how it has been done in the past.

WHO isn't promoting them, someone is paying WHO to promote them.

NASCAR is a failing sport so not surprising they are getting desperate.

I used to know the names of most of the NASCAR drivers. Now, I only know a handful and don't follow it anymore.

You are missing out as the races have all been great this year.

Local news is just 90% paid promotion now.

I don't love or hate NASCAR. I will turn it on from time to time but I really don't get the whole stage thing. I know it is supposed to make the races more interesting but I just don't understand it. I haven't really looked into it but it just confuses me.

NASCAR beat the rush and died years ago.

Love watching the sprint car races and to a far lesser degree other dirt track racing. That being said I don't get the love for NASCAR racing. To each his own I guess but as a race car fan I find present day NASCAR racing to be incredibly boring. Can't imagine watching that **** on TV let alone spend hundreds of dollars to actually attend a live event.

 

[CyCrazy]

Probably because NASCAR is going to the Iowa Speedway this year.

They priced themselves out of their core fan base.

I actually do watch racing. I watch F1 sprints, quali, sprint quali and race every weekend it's on. I'll casually watch other racing series. That being said, I tried watching the NASCAR race at Newton last year and it was brutally boring. I just couldn't do it.

In person or on TV for the Newton race?
