Racing fans don't seem to get this. To them, racing is as popular as the NFL. In reality, it's nothing. Enough of the people that want to see racing either have HRTV or TVG or are at a track/simulcast facility. The ones that aren't using one of those options just don't number enough to warrant a network going through the trouble of putting racing on. Also, with those other sports, you can promote with reasonable assurity who will be there. You can't do that with racing.
