And in the latest dumpster fire of the day, I finish an interview taping for @TheSWNMedia to find out that FOX Charlotte (WJZY, @Queen_City_News) gave no warning and cut from the @IndyCar race just to bring their regular 4 p.m. newscast - IN A RACING MARKET.
Unreal. Goes to show that WJZY has no clue what will actually draw eyes in their own television domain. This one isn't on IndyCar or FOX proper but it's still absolutely frustrating to have happen at the end of an already bad-look weekend. #IndyCar

@dINDYmals this isnt NSS putting on the event. so its always going to be lacking compared to the nascar weekend.

For those wondering: FS1 is scheduled for live coverage of TBT (The Basketball Tournament) Monday from 7-11pm that, even if it may be smaller potatoes, would still be tough to shelve for a rescheduled race.
Fox has its typical weeknight entertainment programming from 8-10pm. You lose leverage, even if you think you’re a bigger deal, when you’re rescheduling.
And so a shortened race with lead-in from Barrymore, Sherri & Steve Wilkos it is.

I’m gonna wager a likely hard-out for 5pm local news coverage on local affiliates across the east coast probably doesn’t help either. 🤷🏻♂️

@OC_Scanner @KevinDenney1985 @bobpockrass @IndyCarOnFOX who could ever predict it would storm in the south or be hot at 3

@cfchangs9 @ArchieOReilly_ @Kupilainen turns out their plan B necessitated shortening the race by 25%. great planning.

@dubi4captain @ArchieOReilly_ @Kupilainen If you used this thinking to make a schedule we'd have a nine race season. It rains sometimes.

Gutted for all involved at #IndyCar and FOX that this masterplan of a World Cup final lead-in is set to be scuppered by weather.
The best race of 2025 was moved from the finale for this purpose. Brutal break, given all the eyeballs it would have attracted… #MusicCityGP

.@IndyCar has postponed its race at Nashville till tomorrow afternoon due to rain, missing the FIFA World Cup final lead-in.

English

So disappointing for IndyCar. They were going to have a MASSIVE lead-in audience from the World Cup, only to get rained out.

The INDYCAR race is postponed to 3p ET Monday on FOX.

@cfchangs9 @ArchieOReilly_ @Kupilainen indycar has like 16 weekends usually. they can figure it out a little better, especially when the stakes are this high.
this isnt cup that races every weekend.
English

@cfchangs9 @ArchieOReilly_ @Kupilainen no. maybe go to a place where its not this bad though.
portland has a 5% chance of rain today historically, and laguna seca has 0%. and you can rain race there.
nashville is like 40%.
English

@dubi4captain @ArchieOReilly_ @Kupilainen You gonna avoid scheduling things outside in the summer because it might rain?
English

@ArchieOReilly_ @Kupilainen who could have ever predicted there would be afternoon storms in the south in summer.
English

It’s now raining a noticeable amount. This could be a long evening/night. #IndyCar
English

@LoganBuehler9 @trevor454545 @AustinKonenski a race that ended 2am sunday got almost the same amount as it did saturday night.
saturday nights are rating black holes.
English

@trevor454545 @AustinKonenski NASCAR needs to go back to Saturday night races

@dubi4captain @JLTNC3 That’s literally the reason Bonsignore isn’t running the tour right now. It’s been confirmed by several people. Idk what information you have but it’s false.
English

@Bongslinger86 @JLTNC3 tires being the reason the 51 dropped off. silk
English

@Bongslinger86 @JLTNC3 you certainly know what its like being wrong.
English

@dubi4captain @JLTNC3 I tried to tell him he was wrong. Maybe he’ll believe it when somebody else tells him.
English

@Bongslinger86 @JLTNC3 tri track and stafford have lost over a dozen cars in some cases YOY.
its not just the nascar tour struggling.
English

@JLTNC3 @dubi4captain If they were lazy they wouldn’t be racing at all. They both race Tri Track. Idk why you’d think the two best teams on the tour are “lazy”. That’s just ridiculous.
English

@JLTNC3 @Bongslinger86 4th does cover the tire bill.
last covers the tire bill most weeks.
English

@Bongslinger86 @dubi4captain Because they are to lazy to figure out the tires , they quit over adversity, meanwhile Mckennedy, Emerling, Hirschman stuck it out , and figured it out, 4th place doesn't pay enough for tires , but keep insisting because you watch 🙄 you just want to argue, im not the one 👋🏻
