MORE NHRA TV DURING THE COUNTDOWN?

There's no doubt, in the sports television world, football broadcasting is gigantic. Unfortunately the king is most active during drag racing's championship season. We are told, the NHRA plans to announce more rebroadcasts of the off-peak qualifying shows this fall. Our sources tell us a second broadcast of the qualifying shows will air at 1 PM on Sundays in time slots likely not to be preempted by live television.
