Jimmie Johnson, Rick Hendrick weigh in on TV network's decision at Phoenix

By SceneDaily Staff
Sunday, November 09, 2008

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series viewers in two time zones were somewhat surprised to see Sunday’s Checker O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Phoenix International Raceway moved to another network before it was concluded.

After a pair of red-flag periods delayed the race, which had engines firing for the start at 3:52 EST, ABC officials made the decision to shift the conclusion of the race to ESPN2 in order to show the regularly-scheduled "America's Funniest Home Videos" to viewers in Eastern and Central Standard Time zones.

 "After two red flags, rain in Phoenix and 4 1/2 hours on ABC, we were still 34 minutes from the end of the telecast as it turned out," said George McNeilly,  ESPN senior director, communications, in a statement. "We told fans in the East and Central from the second red flag on that the race was moving to ESPN2. ABC's entertainment viewers and NASCAR fans were both well served in a tough spot, and we are fortunate to have ESPN2 among our networks to serve the fans."

 Race winner Jimmie Johnson and team owner Rick Hendrick were surprised to hear of the switch following the event.

"It doesn't say very much," team owner Rick Hendrick said when asked what the move said about the Chase. "I didn't know that. That's where my mother is. I'm glad my phone went dead at the end of the race."

 Johnson laughed in his response, but admitted his own surprise.

 "Well, I thought it went dark and nobody could watch it," he said. "So the fact that it was on another television channel was, I mean, it's better. It's still somewhat on a prime channel of course on ABC, but to go to America's Funniest Home Videos, that one hurts, no doubt. I thought we have a lot of characters. Why do we need that show?"

    I was shocked and appalled by the move. AFHV, come on, how sick is that? I agree with JJ why do we need that show? Probably a rerun anyway. I did not complain when the beginning of NASCAR preshows were delayed because of a football game, even when the score was a run away. Surely NASCAR deserves the same respect from ABC as other sports. I think I will (try) boycott ABC for the next few months. Uh, after next weekend....

    WHY COMPLAIN;

    IT DOES MAKE YOU LAUGH. SEEMS LIKE THE RACE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON ESPN2 to begin with< THEN WE WOULD HAD TO SWITCH CHANNELS.

    How many times do football games back up the tv schedule because they ran long, especially when there's a double-header. ABC should have showed the conclusion of the race. It wasn't like they were going to shorten any of the other programs. Just thank god we were able to watch the end of the race.

    CBS does this every week of the football schedule with the airing of their 4:15 games. 60 minutes NEVER starts on time, which is supposed to be 7:00 p.m., the rest of the evening schedule is then backed up. Last night, 60 Minutes didn't start until 7:25p.m., after the conclusion on the Steelers Game, instead of going to regular programming, they went to the conclusion of another game. The networks can pick and chose what they want to air and when and we have no say so on the matter. WHY?? ABC dropped the ball on this one.

    I am in favor of moving all of the Sprint Cup Nascar races to Speed. This is a channel devoted to only racing and the fans wouldn't have to worry about moving the race if it ran OT. Also, have all races in HD. I look forward ( the least) to the last 10 races of the season because of them being broadcast on ABC. This is the worst channel of all to watch a race on.

    This situation of games/races running OT and screwing up local channel programming sucks. I have several shows that I tape so that I can see them later and too many times I end up with only part of them getting taped. I was glad that I had ABC on when they made the announcement that they would be moving the remainder of the race to ESPN2 or I wouldn'd have known. My husband had switched to watch the last few seconds of the football game and I barely got back to ABC for that announcement. Why doesn't Nascar broadcast the races on Speed. This is a channel devoted only to racing and if the race ran OT, the next scheduled event could just start after the race was over. HUH, just a thought.

    I agree with Marsha get away from FOX,ABC,ESPN and TNT and go with the Speed channel as all the others or not fan friendly race channels. You got to love the Speed channel and they will not drop you if a race runs over. I so much enjoy watching the truck races and find myself missing the nationwide and sprint races for this reason. In matter of fact I don't really watch any of the local networks to many STUPID shows. Thank god for Speed Channel

    Not everyone has the SPEED TV channel or any ESPN channels so having the races on the original networks for all to see could encourage new viewers but stunts like last nights certainly won't help. I did not see or hear any announcement that they were moving the race to ESPN2. I must have missed that. They went to commercial, came back to AFV. I was NOT happy. I instantly knew to switch to one of the ESPN stations to look for the race but not everyone would know or be able to do that. There are still many people that do not have cable or satellite. ABC/ESPN made a huge error.

    Marsha, NASCAR wants new viewers. If all races were on Speed how fast would the interest go way down? If you don't know about racing you will never know about it if all is on SPEED. (Thank you SPEED I see you will be re airing the race next week) Regular TV is the way to reach everyone with a TV. It is sad at times when you aren't home and taping. delay, etc. I have seen regular program being rebroadcast during the night. I could watch the funny videos then.

I am fortunate to have the Speed channel & wish all races were on it, but with the Bush economy many people cannot afford it. If they do it for NFL, do it for Nascar!! GO CARL GO!!!

My mother is 94 and she is as big of a fan of nascar as anyone but she does not have cable and she looks forward to the races but she was so MAD last nite that I had to hear about it for an hour (thanks ABC). I agree with Marsha that Speed and FOX should have all the races

    NASCAR should give all the races to FOX. They give good coverage and that way everyone can watch, even those without cable to get TNT and ESPN2. ABC should be stripped of its rights to cover NASCAR because of this. Would they switch game 6 of the World Series to ESPN2? I think not. It was probably a liberal in control of ABC programming taking a shot at us rednecks.

    I love AFV, but that was a bad move if you ask me. If the chase is important enough to put on ABC instead of ESPN, shouldn't it preempt anything else they might normally run? That's what they do with the NFL. Talk about mixed messages.

    Race coverage should be given to Fox and Speed for the entire season. I still get quite frustrated with the ABC/ESPN coverage and announcers. Do Rusty and Brad actually watch the race as they pontificate? Something will happen on the track and far too many times it is ignored while the banal comments go on and on. Dale Jarrett and his group are good but they seem to be superceded by Rusty and crew. Come on, Nascar, fix this.

    The truth of the Chase is at follows Jimmie Johnson is the best at the tracks in the last 10 races--does not mean in my view he is the champion THE REAL CHAMPION IS THE DRIVER WITH MOST POINTS FROM RACE one
    JJ can be champion forever while other drivers are racing on all kinds of tracks and Jiimie wins because he is the best in last 10 races IN NO Way WAS HE A CHAMPION LAST YEAR--it WAS j gORDON and this years champ is Kyle Busch

    The only problem with giving it to Fox for the whole season is that they cover the NFL with two games every sunday. I would totally be in support of this, I like Fox's coverage much better than ABC's, but I don't see it happening. As for those who say to put it all on SPEED, that makes very little sense.

    And actually anonymous, as of now if using the old pre-chase championship system Jimmie Johnson would still be in front. I hate to link to another website on Scene Daily, but Jayski has a good rundown of it: http://www.jayski.com/stats/2008/points/35phx2008points.htm

    I thought it was a slap in the face to NASCAR that they moved the race. I was one of the lucky fans who has ESPN2 and was home so could switch the channel. I feel for folks who either don't have cable/satellite or that channel and couldn't switch or who were recording it to watch later because of work or other commitments who were unable to see the end of the race. Nascar needs to make sure they have a clause in their TV contracts that guarantees the races will be shown in their entirety on the network it starts on same as the NFL. I realize NASCAR races are longer than NFL games but ABC knew that going into the contract and so did NASCAR.

    And fans who don't like Jimmie or the 48 team or those who don't like the Chase don't blame those things for ABC moving the rrace; they would have moved it over no matter who was winning and no matter what points system they were on.

    GO JIMMIE, CHAD, AND TEAM 48!!!

Just another reason why I don't care for ABC. I only watch that channel long enough to see the race and that's it. NASCAR should just stick with FOX.

    Not everyone has cable or satellite tv. Many people in urban areas use off air antennas. It is a disservice to move a broadcast to a channel that is unavailable to all viewers. Just another reason the networks are losing viewers along with the poor programming. NASCAR must insist on quality uninterupted broadcasts of its races. Fox was no better when they aired some races on FX.

    Nascar should not let ABC have anything to do with Nascar. That was a slap in the face to Nascar and not anything that would have happened had it been an NFL game or Baseball game. I did not hear the announcement that it would move to ESPN2 and was surprised when that stupid America's Funniest Home Videos show came on. I immediately went in search of the race and did find it on ESPN2, but I hope Nascar wakes up and gets rid of ABC!!!!

    I was so upset yesterday with ABC, I had to work and returned home @7:30 PM to watch the Phoneix race that I recorderd. At 9:30 last night with 37 laps left some idiot made a decission to move the broadcast to ESPN. Guess what? My recorder did not get the message and I ended up missing the last of the race. This is not the first time that ABC has pulled this crap however it will be my last time ever to watch a race on ABC or ESPN. Further more I will not support any company that has an affiliation with ABC and that includes Disney. What was so important that a rerun of AFV took the place of a one time auto race. NASCAR should really take a hard look at everything they are doing to PI_ _ everyone off. I have followed NASCAR for more then 40 years and have never seen the lack of concern as displayed by Brian. It is hard to beleive he not adopted, as France would never treat the loyal fans like Brian has. I better go and take my heart medication now.

Who cares about seeing more "funny" videos of wedding goof ups or some snotty nosed kid telling an adult he/she has bad breath? I had my DVR set to record the race, of course I got the whole race except the last 50 laps or so.

    I agree that it was a bad move by ABC, they don't do that with the football or baseball games on the network channels. As for putting all the races on Speed that would be a really bad move. We pay for the 3rd tier of pricing for our TV so we have SpeedTV. Many people can't afford that, for that matter we can't either but my hubby can't live without Speed channel. And as for the suggestion of putting all the races on PPV, I guess we wouldn't watch any races at all at our house. At $4.99 or more for a PPV that would let most of us redneck racing fans out in the cold, that's almost $200 a year!!! ABC should be required to treat Nascar like any other sport or not agree to show it at all.

    ABC did a TERRIBLE job not showing the ending of the race. They made a commitment when they signed the contract to show the races. I guess that commitment didn't mean much. With the 3:45pm start time and AFV scheduled to start at 7, that leaves only 3:15 for race time. This race in 2007 was 3:01. Now, I'm not a genius and I don't work for ABC, but come on! 14 minutes???There's not much room for error there. They should never have even started the race on ABC.
    Now reading a lot of these comments, people think NASCAR should award the broadcasting rights of their races to different networks/channels. We are in year 2 of 8 in the current TV deal. So in 2014, your wishes might be their command!

    ABC and CBS blow chunks as far as dedication to the sport. They preempt the race for golf, football, baseball. It's because NASCARS numbers are starting to slip. Why? Can you say Car of Tomorrow? Can you say Boring Cookie Cutter race tracks? Can you say Restrictor plates? Get with it NASCAR. Your fans are talking, why aren't you listening. I would be happy if the big 3/4 networks dropped NASCAR coverage. They would get better coverage on SPEED, TNN, it isn't even half bad on Fox, but even they have their moments. If you don't have cable or a sattellite, then you musn't be much of a fan because I'd go nuts without SPEED's coverage of NASCAR.

    I don't blame ABC for doing what they did. Ratings have been down, Johnson was going to win, and I'm sure I'm not the only fan just sick and tired of Hendrick. I don't plan on watching the last Cup race this weekend, but I do plan to watch the Truck and Nationwide races. At least those will be interesting to watch.

    ABC should tape the race, and just air the start and the finish of the race. There's no excitement in watching when you already know who is going to win.

    Take the last F1 race where Lewis Hamilton didn't win the championship until the last turn of the last lap. Now THAT was exciting!

    For those of you who are clamoring about moving the races to FOX, how would that solve anything? That would only make this kind of situation much worse and we would have to deal with it more often. FOX’s number one commitment is to the NFL and not NASCAR, if it were, they would have tried to purchase the full season when the contracts were negotiated but they wanted no part of the second half. When would FOX broadcast the races? Every other week? The NFL doubleheader swaps between CBS and FOX each week so when CBS has the second NFL game, FOX still has one game to air. The pregame show kicks off at noon ET with the postgame show ending at 4:30 ET, leaving them only two and a half hours to broadcast the race (forget about any kind of a prerace show or postrace interviews) before they start airing their very popular animated shows at 7:00 ET. Maybe we could get a Truck race or a Nationwide race in within that timeframe, but definitely not a Cup race. So FOX would be forced into a situation just like ABC was in every other week. Would they stick with the race or move it to FX? The late starting time would also force all tracks to install lights. Then we are still left with the question as to what would we do with the races on the weekends that FOX has the NFL doubleheader?

    The only problem is the fact that ABC started the race coverage at 3:00 ET and we didn’t see the green rag drop until closer to 4:00 ET. All day races should start no later than 2:00, then we wouldn’t see this problem.

You would have to be a one-eyed no-brain goofball not to see that JJ has outclassed the rest of the field this year. And don't give me any favoritism or cheating stories. I wouldn't give you two cents for a crew that didn't get innovative and try to stretch a few of NASCAR's idiotic rules. You can't scare me cuz I learned the ropes with the Allisons, Waltrips and Jr Johnson.

I go to all the races that I can and never miss watching the ones that I can't attend, but for Nascar to allow ABC to switch the race at the last minute just shows how much Nascar does not care about thier fans!!!!! Get real Nascar either show the races on a channel that everyone can receive on TV or start the race early enough not to lose the last part of the race. Most of the fans are in Central or Eastern time zones anyway. It is about time that Nascar remember the fans support is the ones that has made the sport what it is today,they need to start looking out for the fans for a change.

    Well I was actually at the race and left early because it was more of the same from the last 3 times I've been at Phoenix, thought I'd get a jump on traffic driving 6 hours back home. This chase is a joke, if it was anyone else leading the race perhaps it would not have happened, the chase sure has'nt changed the obvious winner. It's just like predicting a superbowl when certain teams are involved. It was a dumb move by ABC and it is true NASCAR doesn't get the respect, but their manufactured championships and points tweaking is not going to change the loss of interest from what NASCAR use to be. The COT which I was encouraged when I first heard, thinking this would level the playing field but it's more of the same. No matter what the rules, how the points are earned or how fair nascar on the outside tries to make it, it's the teams with money taking it all and that is killing the sport. COT racing was suppose to make the racing more exciting at the aero-dependant tracks and the like and it's more of the same follow the leader no matter who is in front. So I got my money's worth at the track and saw all I needed to. I honestly would have wanted to see Home Videos I needed another laugh since this race was already a joke. I guess I should have been on the east coast. But excluding my opinion of the actual race, I think ABC knew nothing historical was going to happen in this race and didn't care so they swithed to ESPN2. It is a bummer they assume everyone has those other channels, but again NASCARs chase is not working and it can't compete with NFL which was the intent of the chase and now JJ can't compete with itchy animals that is sad. What will the France family do next...
