According to the Speed online schedule,

Grand Am wrap up at 2pm today.
Then 3-4:30pm Porsche Cup racing before going to Rolex 24.

Speed/Fox split screen.

Worst ad so far: "I'm JC France and I'm a Grand Am driver..." after showing a nascar style punchout.

Should have said, "I'm JC France and my Daddy made a race series so I could drive somewhere..."

The FOX coverage is awful...3-4 minutes of racing then 5 minutes of commercials. I'm not sure I've ever seen worse. I appreciate the need for commercials but this is ridiculous.

It looks like the 09 Rolex Cup car uses the same body as the Cup S. Anyone know about this?

They had planned to do so, but they are not. SPEED shut them down while they have it on live TV. Feeds 10PM when SPEED goes off the air.
