addition carried concept countries five greater grow japan landscape launching meaning nice pad perhaps played republic seven six sports united venezuela wonderful
I think the concept is a wonderful concept. It'll be carried on television. Because of the nationalism involved, it could take on greater meaning in countries like Japan or the Dominican Republic or Venezuela than perhaps it would in the United States. But because of the nationalistic feeling, it could be a nice little launching pad because it is played in March. I think it's an interesting concept that should grow over the years. If you give it time, five or six or seven years from now, this could be a nice addition to the sports landscape and a big event.

It's safe to say that Fox and NBC have not made money on the NASCAR deal. It would maybe even be safe to say that we lost money (Fox in 2002 wrote off $297 million on its NASCAR rights investment).
