Believe it or not, auto racing is one of America's most popular sports (and it gets the highest live attendance of any sport in the country). Admittedly, it osn't very big in hockey country, but lots of people don't live in hockey count ry. As for ESPN...they screwed up big time, but at least they're giving college hoc key a chance--it's the only way some of us get to see the games. Just my two cents. Carl Sussman
