You guys were right. They are losers.

I see the jabs the others gave ya, but I know what you meant. There isn't a
"finalized" schedule posted yet.
Honestly, it's that way every year. They're closing deals daily for race
sponsorships and so forth. It is usually quite close to the D500 before
everything is set. Some years, late year races still won't have sponsors or
"names" of races until after the D500 even. So don't fret, too much, this is
typical of NASCAR.

I would have thought that this stuff would have been finalized by now. Usually
people want a long lead time for promotional preperation. You know. Like a
magazine this month is working on the April issue. Oh well, that is the way it is. :-)

Paul--Sim is correct that it's that way every year. What he didn't add was that
NBC doesn't put out their times of races until shortly before they begin their
half of the telecast schedule. NBC doesn't even decide if a race will be shown
on NBC or TNT until this 'late' date.
Paul, to satisfy your FAQs, u must remember--This is NA$CAr, NOT NFL or MLB!
NA$CAr is different!

I sure hope that u r taking notes so as not to repeat all yore wonderful
Newbie questions for '07. RASNers have a history of little patience.
I think it's pretty kewl that the current RASNers have had patience
by answering yore faqs so honestly. BUT there is going to come a time,
probably pretty soon, that yore newbie questions will get answers that
u won't like. IOW, ask fast!

Yes, we're far enough away from "winter break" now that the instigators will
retakeover the group soon. It's already started IMO. I've already had to KF
a couple of regulars who've changed their handles and creeped out of my "do
not display" list since Christmas.

And I did forget to mention NBC's habit of not releasing their schedule real
early, for as Cru says here, they don't know "which" network is going to air
it until late in the process. (Why, we do not know...because they can I
reckon)

Yeah well, it's time I try a new tack to prevent such attacks on my quiet
and shy self (in the real world any way). Call it a kinder, gentler Sim if
you wish...Sure as I had said it was "the" NASCAR stat site, someone other
than you would've preached my funeral over "how it wasn't" the best...and my
plate's full this week, no time for any real honest to goodness arguing..

I don't use the site much, but get the periodical delivered at work. Great
mag, I assume the site is equally as useful.

pssst... Paul.... don't look now, but it's right there, in the "races"
menu, where it always is.... there is also a link to it in the banner
ad for the Daytona countdown....

psssst...Julia.... don't look now, but there is no race name, TV station or
start time on that schedule.

That schedule has been on the site since a week or so after the last race of
last year. :-)

LOL... well, I was kinda lax on 'splaining the whole incomplete
schedule thing.... as you have already found out, it's not really as
much an issue with nascar.com as it is with NASCAR itself. They are
still in the process of selling out to the highest bidders.... I mean,
finding race sponsors.

I wouldn't say that nascar.com are losers. I think they just stick to
the very basics.... I look at them more like NASCAR's mouthpiece. I
would follow the advice of the others and bookmark some of the websites
(racing-reference.com is probably my most frequented). Was
tvracer.com mentioned as a great one to find out what's on and where to
find it? .... maybe not jayski's though ~ IMO, it's like the Enquirer
of racing..... well, maybe not that bad, as most of the information
does turn out to be true, but sometimes it's just flat out wrong ~ and
ya never know when it's gonna be one of those times.
