Do you have NASCAR Hot Pass from Direct TV? Can you tell me...?

if you get pit/ driver/ spotter communication during the race? and which drivers are featured every week; i.e. is it always Stewart, Waltrip, Earnhart, etc? or will it be the top 5 qualifiers, top 5 point leaders, top 5 most popular drivers, etc?

Update:

as far as communication during the race, i mean, i am watching the free preview right now but during commericials i am hearing the commericial and not the driver/ pit/ spotter communication. i think it seems less attractive if i have to listen to all the commericials instead of the strategy between my guy and his crew chief.

Update 2:

Dude, thanks, I was wondering if they were covering up the crew chief/ driver conversations for the paid people or just the free preview. Sorry they hung up on you, I've never had bad service from DTV but glad you got your $$ back. Thanks again, you'll get the 10 pts when I can close the Q's. I appreciate the input.

    I purchased the hot pass and started watching today during the 500. I was very disappointed with it, based on all the hype. My opinion is the Hot pass is no better than network channels, They break to commercials as dictated by the channel covering the race covering two thirds of the TV screen and block out any reviews or interviews taking place at that time. I thought that if I were paying for coverage I would receive dedicated channels but the regular network covering the race blocks you out at every commercial break. In fact I called Direct T V to question the broadcast the representative told me Hot pass looked good to him. I told him hot pass was BS And wanted to cancel and advised the network channel provided better coverage than Hot pass then the Direct TV representative hung up on me. So much for customer input/ support. My second call to them was much firmer and they canceled my subscription. Based on my experience today don't waste your money.
