Nationwide race pushed to ESPN Classic
For those fans wanting to tune in to tonight's Nationwide race from Richmond, I hope you have ESPN Classic. The race was originally scheduled to air on ESPN2, but because of NBA playoffs, it's been pushed to ESPN Classic and ESPN360.com. For those that don't have ESPN Classic on their cable or satellite service, the race is suppose to be shown in it's entirety (although recorded) after the playoff game.
NASCAR fans use to love ESPN for their coverage of NASCAR races and thought that when they started airing races again, it would improve coverage, unfortunately, ESPN cares more about other sports fans and NASCAR fans are not happy about it. In this case, NASCAR fans are being pushed aside to accommodate basketball fans, ESPN use to care about their NASCAR fans, obviously other things are more important and there is really nothing fans can do about it.
For those of you fans that had plans and were planning on recording the race, set it to record it on ESPN Classic at 7 PM ET instead of ESPN2. Fans that don't have ESPN Classic, but have ESPN2 will have to wait until after the basketball game to see the race.

Umm..in the world of sports there is no comparison in the terms of importance and interest between the NBA playoffs and a Nationwide event. It's the playoffs! ESPN would be discrediting themselves as a sports authority that has rights to broadcost the NBA playoffs and instead chooses to broadcast the Nascar minor leagues. Get over it.
