Issues With ABC Stations
KTKA, the ABC affiliate in Topeka, Kansas, did not air the final six laps of the race, leaving at 10 p.m. Central time (after a red-flag delay) and not returning. A full local newscast replaced it. Ironically, Bowyer is originally from Emporia, Kansas, about 50 miles away.
KSAT, the affiliate for San Antonio, Texas, also broke away at 10 p.m. CT for news, but returned about five minutes later in time for the end of the race.
At least three other affiliates - KABC, Los Angeles; KOCO, Oklahoma City; and WPLG, Miami - had not aired NASCAR Countdown before the race, in favor of local news.
