£15, dude. That's obviously up on the tenner it was for NASN on it's own but not *that* bad if you watch every weekend..

ss_collins · 18 Mar 2007, 20:00 (Ref:1870620)

US TV commercials make me hungry - do you get them on NASN?

rustyfan · 18 Mar 2007, 20:01 (Ref:1870623)

Dale Jr. is fast right now - just flew by Kurt Busch for 5th.

VilleneuveTracy · 18 Mar 2007, 20:01 (Ref:1870624)

JPM--fastest on the last lap.

No, we get adverts for Irish karting centres and pubs...

grrr

ss_collins · 18 Mar 2007, 20:02 (Ref:1870627)

No we called and asked and it was an extra £30 p/m as we would have to buy the sports pack (and then I guess £15 for NASN?)

Knowlesy · 18 Mar 2007, 20:02 (Ref:1870628)

Mmmmm....Irish karting.

Knowlesy · 18 Mar 2007, 20:03 (Ref:1870632)

Monty hassling Kurt now.

**Craig** · 18 Mar 2007, 20:03 (Ref:1870633)

WTF??! We get a race on and we cut to a promo?!! AAARGGHH!

Knowlesy · 18 Mar 2007, 20:04 (Ref:1870634)

An out of date promo at that.

No, it's £15. Trust me. You don't need to buy the Sky Sports channels.

Knowlesy · 18 Mar 2007, 20:05 (Ref:1870637)

I registered for NASN online and there was no mention of needing a sports package and it cost £15.

The folk at Setanta/NASN dunno what they are talking about.

I assume they want to keep their fuel topped of for the long green runs they had today already

That would seem logical, yeah, but they all changed tires as well didn't they?

Then again, with the tires being a bit iffy this year they probably go for tires whenever they get the chance.

Urgh! This advert of that old guy scoring a try is REALLY getting boring now..

ss_collins · 18 Mar 2007, 20:10 (Ref:1870647)

It was sky her indoors spoke to... I'll look into sentanta

No worries - unlike F-1 the drivers tend to race regardless of what type of injuries they have. Broken finger? Not a problem. Concussion? Do like Junior and race without telling anyone. Broken neck? Hell, if the King could race with that, anyone can!

if I understood it right, after one of Stewarts green stops, they said one of his tires was worn down to the wire or something.

Knowlesy · 18 Mar 2007, 20:11 (Ref:1870652)

Kyle Busch sideways YET AGAIN!

in all fairness, I remember DC racing at Barcelona just a few days after breaking his ribs in a plane crash

Yep, that was after the last full green run.
