I doubt they did it to get people to buy all access passes with 4 races left. That seems irrational and highly unlikely, as in 100%.
In actuality, Saturday will be college football and Sunday looks like Nascar. I'm not surprised. They likely get more viewers from both of those over nhra. So why would they give a better time slot to a worse performing television show? More irrationality. No one with a sound mind would do that.
Not everything is a conspiracy against you, bro. All it takes is a little rational thinking and 2 seconds of research to determine why it's that way. Not only that, you can bet it was decided before the season started which races would be shown on which channel and when. Come on, dude. Are you on crack or pcp? No one could be this irrational about something so stupid, for lack of a better word. Why would the sponsors all the sudden be pissed? They've known about this the entire year. They release the entire TV viewing schedule before race 1 ever starts. But they get pissed now because???
See what I'm saying? Your entire post is irrational and makes you sound paranoid. You also have no possible way of knowing whether "not to(sic) many people" have FS2 or not. None. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Just because you don't doesn't mean no one does. I have it. It came with the basic channel package from Directv. Going by that, I'd assume most people do have it considering I only have the 2nd cheapest channel package. But I'm just as likely to be right as you because I don't have a clue, either. LOL! There's no way to know without going over the data. The facts. None of which either of us have seen.
And I haven't even mentioned FS GO, the Fox Sports app that also shows nhra races. All it takes is logging in with your TV network credentials and you can usually watch there when it's on FS2, I believe. Just like they did qualifying this past race. You could've caught the extension on FS2 or the FS GO app if you didn't have FS2.
Having said ALL of that, I'd venture to say Fox isn't the stupid one in this equation. <shrug>
Reminds me of the guy last week that complained about how long racing was stopped because of the pro mod crash and tried to blame it on Fox Sports because he only saw this many minutes of qualifying out of 2 hrs. About how racing was stopped for so long and it wouldn't have taken near that long with ESPN doing the show. Except ESPN has zero effect on how long it takes to clean up a crash. None. Yet he was convinced that they would've been back racing in no more than 20 mins if ESPN was filming instead of Fox. Lmao. Yea okayyyyyy. Put down the crackpipe, sir. LOL!
He was so busy crying about missing it on FS1 and how ESPN would've had them back racing in mere minutes, he didn't realize it was on FS GO and FS2. In all honesty, he just wanted to complain. Much like what I'm seeing here.
