This is what makes me wish NASCAR and Fox would do the split-screen coverage like ABC and Indy - big things happen and you don’t see them live. It was suggested to NASCAR and Fox but they turned it down (maybe the advertisers don’t like having to share screen space with the race?)

Think it’s just Nascar, not Fox. Indy has been doing for several years and Nascar will switch to the same channels mid year. (If the contracts are still the same.)

Anyway, the tech has been there.

I thought that but realized that there’s a greater chance I’ll stick with it and absorb the ad as I watch the race...before, I would leave the room during the commercial - I tend to regard it as a “break” where I could step away and not miss anything.
