Is the Prelude to the Dream Pay-per-view being used as market research for future NASCAR pay-per-views?

With NASCAR adopting the Gordon Gecko “greed is good” philosophy do you think that they are pushing the Prelude to the Dream for market research? Do you think that it may be possible that NASCAR is looking at putting “special” NASCAR events on pay-per-view? Or even putting the entire 10 race chase on pay-per-view in the future once the television contracts expire? What do you think?

That's a scary idea, I could see the All-Star race as a trial ballon first. The problem is dealing with the rain out refunds.
Reply:No, it is not even a NASCAR sanctioned event. They tried Pay-per-View several years ago, and it didn't sell very well. The in-car on demand stuff is plenty for now, and is a good complement to the regular coverage.
Reply:The Gordon Gecko "greed is good" comment is from the movie "Wall Street"
Reply:no it was on pay per view because it was a charity race the money from the pay per view went to the victory junction gang ,which is a great cause ,they only did this as a fundraiser for kyle pettys camp
Reply:Well if it is I'm not buying into it again! Not after what they pulled with tonights race! Read my post and you'll see why I'm so mad!!
Reply:Since it's not really a NASCAR event, and since it's a fundraiser for charity (with proceeds going to Victory Junction and the Tony Stewart Foundation), I'm guessing that the answer is NO.
Reply:NO, because it is not a NASCAR event.

Where the heck did you come up with that line?
Reply:I doubt it very much





No





I'm surprised thay already haven't done the pay per view thing.





Them putting the chase on PPV would be great. Think about it. No comercials.





Last nights race was strickly to help out the kids. I don't think it had anything to do with some sort of poll to see if PPV would work.


I am 100% agianst the chase so it wouldn't be a big deal to me to have it put on PPV.





If they are doing a tornament type ending to the year then they should do it like a tournament. As the year goes on you have stages where if your not in the top 30 your season is done.


then 20 and


then there was 10 cars.


And now you have your chase.


This is how tounaments work.





So if you are going to pretend that is a tournament (which that is what they are trying to make you think) Then you have to do it to the hilt.


I can't imagine what it would be like to have to drive a car in those last 10 races knowing that you are driving for 11th place. Weather you could win the championship or not to seperate them like that just doesn't seem right.
Reply:they already have pay per view. It's called cable/satellite. It's not 20 -50 bucks a race but if you don't subscribe for that service starting this week you don't see another race until the Chase. All sports do it. look at the NFL with ESPN w/ MNF and the NFL network with their Thurs. and Saturday games. The difference is in the other sports you have games for free to chose from each week in Nascar you only get 1 race per week. So if you don't buy cable or satellite you are out of luck.
