IndyCar Ads
Well, according to Arni the IndyCar Insider, Versus will begin (or have begun) running this weekend with their coverage of the NHL All-Star game. Now, I watched the skills competition yesterday and don’t recall seeing anything, but I could have just missed it. Hopefully, it’ll be plastered all over the game today.
The files can be viewed, as Quicktime files, here and here.
Also, I currently don’t have access to photoshop or any other adobe packages. The disks are with the movers and the movers don’t come for a few weeks. Therefore, it’ll be a bit thin on new images. You’ll all be happy to know, though, that I’m in DC and it’s awesome.

I flipped it on the NHL allstar game and saw the finish line promo during the 1st quarter intermission. I went back to Versus for the WEC Fight and saw the same ad again. I don’t recall seeing anything like this on ABC or ESPN, so I’d say this is a great improvement. This station definately has a niche, and I’ve been watching this station for awhile…mostly World Extreme Cagefighting and Inside MMA, so I think we are hitting a new audience……hopefully we can draw some new fans. Versus is a top of the line station and I have 110% confidence they will do a phenomenal job with IndyCar. Can’t wait!!!!

I must add that Jens Pulver dropped an F-Bomb in his post fight interview, and the announcers didn’t seem to care at all, and the crowd cheered. I’m liking this even more. We’ll get to see Danica vs. Milka uncensored, and the rest of the ICS drivers telling how they really feel about EJ. Don’t get me wrong, this EJ character has grown on me. If KV can sign Paul Tracy, Versus will make the best of the controversies that will ensue.
