I only have Fox Sports 1 on my Cox Essentials Plan, so I have to wait until 5:30am next Saturday to watch it on FS1, then off to Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park to get ready for 1st rnd eliminations at the CarQuest (Should also be called "Cactus") Nationals shortly thereafter that morning!

Just watched the show on Verizon Fios here in Massachusetts, very enjoyable and nice to see the sportsman do their interviews and get some tv time......really liked the Lucas Oil commercials too!

Fox show was way better gave sportsman the time. Now all you complainers just have to win a national event.

I don't have FS2 either, does anyone know if it can be streamed? But good news is it looks like all sportsman shows will be re-aired on FS1 usually a few days later. Sportsman interviews? Sounds great!

Over half way through the one hour show, it was still all alky cars eliminations. I quit watching.

I always record and fast forward until I get to the real Sportsman Racers.

The same feeling here Ed, I almost turned it off after 30 minutes, looked like the same old worthless ESPN program with a couple new faces doing the interviews. And I would have turned it off too if I wasn't interested in seeing how Fox was going to handle the show coverage. By 45 minutes into the program, I knew anything I had any major interest in wasn't happening. They wouldn't have had time left to show it
.
The general consensus from the Friday breakfast table racer guys at the local dive this morning was that Fox could have spread out the coverage of ALL the classes a lot more, not just focus on the alcohol guys round after round. (Yes, we know they're fast). Super Gas--which admittedly is not my style, got about 15 seconds of coverage without an explanation as to how and what they're doing in the one race they showed, Comp got practically no coverage, S and SS got more interview time with Fletch than anything else they showed. And how Erica Enders Stevens got such a lengthy segment in the latter part of the program is still puzzling to me. Isn't she a Pro driver? Isn't this a "Sportsman" program??
But we all agreed we're willing to give it some time. Still watching for now.
