Does everyone noticed about the Xfinity Series that most NASCAR specific tracks doesn't even had Comcast service at all???

Because i tracked every Comcast and Time Warner Cable map and NASCAR should be shocked and humiliated at this:

I discovered that 65.2% of NASCAR's racetracks that covered 66% of NASCAR Xfinity Series races doesn't even have Comcast Xfinity service in areas to most NASCAR racetracks which was 22 races, largely because either Comcast-Time Warner merger wasn't approved yet or Time Warner Cable had service in some areas:

The tracks are:

Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Iowa Speedway (2 races)

Kentucky Speedway (2 races)

Phoenix International Speedway (2 races)

Charlotte Motor Speedway (2 races)

Kansas Speedway

Bristol Motor Speedway

Auto Club Speedway

Texas Motor Speedway (2 races)

Daytona International Speedway (2 races)

Watkins Glen International

Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course

Road America

Talladega Superspeedway

Which covered 22 of 33 races, do you think that's a great idea to sponsor a #2 series sponsor for NASCAR when Xfinity wasn't avaliable in these areas, either the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger should get approved by FCC and expand Comcast in areas to NASCAR racetracks that doesn't have Comcast in the area or NASCAR should get rid Xfinity as series sponsor because of area availability concerns about Xfinity or Comcast

    The sponsor doesn't have to be widespread and relevant right now. It seems more like Comcast is setting up to market Xfinity in the areas where there currently isn't that service. Get the name out there, then once the service is available, it's already known by the fans.

    Not only that, but they gain exclusive rights in the series. That means no other service provider can sponsor races or cars in the series.

    Why would NASCAR care, they do not own the tracks? As long as Xfinity cuts the check, NASCAR doesn't care where they have service.

    That's not relevant. Big market and they are paying their share.
