Fox to offer extended post-race coverage online

Fox will offer extended post-race coverage of NASCAR with an online program beginning this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway.

The Overdrive on FoxSports.com will begin immediately after the network ends its broadcast coverage of Sunday's Sprint Cup race. The program will use Fox's entire nine-person broadcasting crew and consist of live interviews and analysis that will be streamed to its Web site.

"It's something we should have been doing all along,'' Bill Brown, senior producer for Fox Sports, told The Associated Press on Thursday night.

"It's definitely a can't lose, especially when you take into account what the audience wants to see. We are trying to take care of an audience that has invested four hours into the race, wants more, and we can give them more.''
