ESPN Schedule Source

Due to popular request..

The ESPN and ESPN2 schedules are available at 
	http://espnet.sportszone.com/editors/studios/espn-tv.html

I posted the NATCC Schedules on ESPN and got requests for the source.
Looks like they will be repeating some of NATCC events in the near
future.  The race I watched last night was taped earlier this month at
Laguna Seca.  

Basically European body style Accords trounced the pack.  The leader
Randy Pobst was way out in front.  Our beloved BMW's didn't fare so
well, for the second race one of the 2 BMW blew it's clutch at the
standing start.  From the in-car cam view of the cars that were briefly
behind the BMW it looked like the drivers were having to brush off speed
earlier than the other cars going into the turns.  They did look cool
though.  One of the 2 BMW teams did win the "Independents Challenge"
whatever that is.

One aspect of televised racing (even in this smaller series) that I've
always found unappealing is how the drivers have to plug their sponsors.
 Interviews should be about the race, from the drivers POV, not for
commercial plugs.  As Dieter of the SNL Sprockets skit would say "You
plug your sponsor with the subtly of a flying mallet"
