TV needs stages but doesn't need a 4 hour event to air ads over? Even with stages one of the broadcast partners will show ads with 10 to go.
I don't have strong feelings on shorter race distances, but I don't trust TV to not make it miserable forcing ads into the shorter window
I like watching racecars at night
I donโt care which night
Lemme stop at cookout and get home at 2am
But people work on Monday?
Iโm people, I donโt give a fuck
Let the racecars run at night
