This Weekend: NASCAR at The Glen

[PabloTeK]

If last year's race was anything to go by, this should be a properly good race! It's on ESPN (in the US) or Sky 190 as usual with pre-race at 5pm BST on Sunday.

Well worth a watch if you want to see some actual overtaking, simple aerodynamics

What channel is 190? I've got sky but I don't get all the sports channels

It's Open Access 3. Basically someone (don't know who) is paying for the direct transmission to be sent via satellite over to here. The quality isn't the best ever but it's the best available here!

Cool, I'll check it out

Looks like we got sky just in time. Before I'd been having to use justin.tv to get it which is even worse quality, but the upside was you got to see the American adverts, some of which were just hilarious. With Open Access 3 it just shows a Sprint Cup logo, or the live feed with no sound.

Lol, the american adverts are great, if they are to be believed, just by buying a simple Matress I can have a supermodel wife, untold riches and the body of a God!

Yep, and there are so many ads for prescription drugs its unreal. There's even one for a type of Cialis which you take daily, but must seek immediate medical attention if the ahem, "effect" lasts more than 4 hours. Personally, after 2-3 hours I'd be thinking wtf, but ah well.
