I'm sitting here watching the race, and we get free AFN (Armed Forces Network) from the army and they show the same channels as the states, but the commercials are Army propaganda, and they are not allowed to show regular commercials(as its funded with Gov't money).
But Fox is now having the race anouncers read commercials during the race, which AFN has to cut out, so we get about two laps, before more propaganda.

Are you watching the same race as me? I'm watching a race on TNT. Fox doesnt do this.
EDIT: I've been watchin this whole race and I like this format a LOT better because they only cut to commercials during cautions like this. Atleast this way, instead of going to commercials during greenflag runs, we can still watch.
...and why is it "propoganda" when the army has a commercial, and just advertising when anyone else does it? -- 2005 GMC 1500HD 6.0L, 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix 1991 Camaro - 24 Hours of LeMons race car. Pics: http://72.167.14.32/~jeremiah/24hoursoflemons/

do they highlight the cars with a blue halo so you can see it better? --

Shit it is TNT!!
All of the commercials I have seen are stupid Army "Don't drink and drive", "Reenlist in the army!!" "Don't treat women like they have a Vagina"
And they have all been during green flag runs. When they start to get on a Subway rant they switch the race off. --

Yeah I did see a couple of green flag commercials breaks, but its a LOT less than normal. I dont mind seeing the race during the other commercials in order to see more of the race. -- 2005 GMC 1500HD 6.0L, 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix

Jr's paint job is pretty sweet.
It cuts to Army commecial when ever that little commercial pops up in the corner, and then we miss the wreck. --

Hmm, maybe after Truex gets gutted for an illegal roof.
How many times can JJ save the 20 car? He's swung it back and forth a couple times. --

What a shitty end to the race. Kyle should be shot for the way he restarted that race. He knew that they would bunch up and wreck.

Troy, are they still playing the non-stop. "NEVER SHAKE A BABY" commercials? When I was there every 4th commercial was about not shaking your kids. --

Well, FOX is done broadcasting until Daytona 500 2009.....but yeah TNT is a little more lame than fox's coverage. The Picture in picture commercials is an ok Idea but they do it WAY different than Indy car coverage on ABC. TNT stil has to iron out some issues with their live coverage. Speed does a good job although an occasional F-BOMB does get through. -- 00' Trans Am convertible, M6 ,K&N, Edelbrock exhaust. SLP Loudmouth coming soon.

Jeremiah, you are actually watching the race on TNT.
AFN(the Armed Forces Network) buy the footage of the race from TNT, but since the AFN is gov't funded they are not allowed to show corporate commcials.
So when they cut to a break and on TNT have a coke commercial, we instead see a AFN commercial which is some sort of Army propagana(is re-enlistment, saftey, equal oppurtunity)
That why you don't see any of the things I am talking about. And with TNT format of commercials during the race, AFN cuts to a crappy Army commercial everytime they do that. --

ooooooo I was wondering where you were getting that from. There were a few Army commercials here and one REALLY corny one where they compared a nascar car to some 8-wheeled monster that the Army uses. I did realize they cut the corporate commercials for you guys. -- 2005 GMC 1500HD 6.0L, 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
