Where do you watch races?


The NASCAR Busch Series takes a breather this week while the NEXTEL Cup and Craftsman Truck Series tear it up at Martinsville.

For those of you without cable, you have two races to watch on Fox –The Kroger 250 at 3 p.m. Saturday and the Goody’s Cool Orange 500 at 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

As of today, your Cup leader is Jeff Gordon, followed closely by Jeff Burton, who is only 3 points back. Jimmie Johnson is in third, 75 points away and fourth is Matt Kenseth, 94 points back.

Mark Martin took off the weekend at Bristol and went from the lead to only seventh place, 162 points out of the lead.

How did he spend his day off – the first in more than 600 races? Watching the Food City 500 on television and helping son Matt with his late model race. Big surprise.

Yeah, but did he watch the race from the rocking chair he was given by Fox TV at his first retirement in 2005?

What I want to know is where do you go to watch the races on television?
Thanks to Larry Keesee for the Mark Martin photo at Darlington a couple of years ago. Larry said when Mark saw him taking the photo, he just stood there and posed.
