Default ALMS Race What Channel?

I live in Cleveland and on NBC they are showing the Indians! I love baseball but today I want to see the GT2 Corvette. Is there another channel the race is on?

NBC here in Knoxville, TN

New GT2 car looks great on track. I can't wait to see it in person at RA next month

The coverage was so horrible you'd be better off listening to the Radio Lemans podcast.

Yeah, once again WKYC in Cleveland screwed the race fans. They seem to be very biased against motorsports. This is not the first time they have aired an indians game that was on another channel at the same time versus showing what NBC was showing elsewhere in the country.

Yeah, I dont know why STO and NBC had to show the indians. Its not like they are having a steller season anyway.

If anyone did record the race and would be willing to make a copy for me, please PM me.

As they were cutting away to commercial you could see the BMW pass of #4 for third place coming as the two were heading onto the front straight. About 10 minutes later they highlight the pass as a major development ...

Wasn't very exciting to watch on tv. Maybe because i missed most of the action during commercials. Also we had a heat advisory over here that blocked out the whole leader board up top. Annoying as hell. But damn do those vettes look awesome.
