Please FOX Keep Digger in the Hole

So I was browsing the Race and Commercial Breakdown of the Auto Club 500 on cawsnjaws.com and out of all the stats on the page, one in particular jumped out at me:

Number of animated Digger sightings: 18
Number of non-animated Digger sightings: 28
Number of Total Digger sightings: 46

Now look at this:

Start time to record race/commercial periods: 6:00 PM
End time to record race/commercial periods: 10:02 PM
Total minutes: 242
Minutes of race broadcast: 60
Minutes of commercials: 182

60 minutes of actually racing on your screen. 46 Digger sightings. Get out your calculators and for every 1.3 minutes of actual racing we had a Digger sighting. Not to mention, we saw three times as many minutes of commericals than we did action on the track. Now there were several cautions for rain, which is used as NASCAR on FOX's time to pay the bills, but 3x as many commericals as actual racing?

The numbers on Digger are plain absurd as well. This view does have a purpose, but not once every 1.3 minutes. I like the view, especially at Daytona because you get the appearance of speed that the cars carry through the corners. Times when we do not need to see Digger include the pre-race, every time someone drives over it, or every time there is a wreck. Showing Digger during a wreck is one of the absolute worst perspectives you can give the fans to show what actually happens. Show the rear in-car camera, show the front in-car camera, show the driver, show any other shot of the accident other than the Digger-cam. It is a gimick that has ran the course. Please FOX, keep Digger in his hole.

Thanks to cawsnjaws.com for the stats.
