The next race is on Sunday, check it out if you can, you will be surprised at how accurate the imaging and action is and how much the drivers,announcers and fans are engaged in this. I'm sure the NHL, NBA and MLB are taking a hard look at how they can implement a similiar strategy to engage their fans,players,TV and other partners in a similiar program.

I did watch the eNascar Texas race last weekend and it was great. Fox did a great job with the broadcast. This is what fans need at a time like this.
