I think it is fine right where it is. Thoughts?

It's basically run at night now, with the 6:15 post time. I don't see them pushing it to prime time. Too much competition from the NBA and NHL playoffs. Right now, it's spotted perfectly between playoff games of the other sports.

Totally agree Slew. Would be tough to compete with playoff games. I think in terms of primetime and saying a night race, they want a 8:15-8:30 start. Don't see it.

If they made it prime time it would be the longest day of any event. (Including Superbowl). Get to track at 8. Leave after 9
