Bommarito 500 start time is 5pm. Weird.

I guess they're hiding Belle Isle on the USA network too. My guess on the start time is because it is going to be on some of the hottest days in August, so moving it to a later start time may help things cool off as the sun goes down. I really wouldn't want to sit through an afternoon in August there. And frankly there is probably less interest from advertising dollars for the WWT race than many others, hence its on USA. I think St Louis should count itself lucky it gets a race at all. At least with three races to go in the season there may be some kind of interest in a Championship points battle.
 
5:00 will be warmer than the traditional 7:15 start time they had in the past.

I am very happy the race is held here, just wish some common sense prevailed on the TV time. The Cardinals moved away from late afternoon game starts because of bad sun angles . No need to have to learn that lesson twice.
