Let's do the Carlton! NBC carries celebrity golf instead of Sprint Cup race

Plenty of NASCAR fans are upset at NBC and its cable sports outlet. Guess what: We can add to that feeling.

NBC Sports Network, also known as NBCSN, is showing the Brickyard 400, Sprint Cup's annual race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Fans are already upset with what they perceive as an overabundance of commercials.

This week, viewers stewed over the starting time of 3 p.m. ET. Usual and prime viewing time of 1 p.m. ET went to the largely ceremonial final leg of the Tour de France. Yes, that bicycle race. Not a competitive conclusion of tension and drama, but a coronation.
