The race will be broadcast on Fox (first football, then hockey, then
baseball, now NASCAR - they're eating up all the sports!), expect the
usual Fox trimmings - commentators, graphics, stupid stuff. Maybe they
can adapt FoxTrax (the glowing hockey puck thing) to work with the lead
car and the lap car so you can see real easy where people stand. It
didn't work for hockey, but you never know.
