Is anyone aware if there any free internet sites that would have that channel?
I couldn't find the race anywhere online. The best I could find was this link, but it isn't much better than not having any information at all.
I tried searching the MRN Affiliates list in an effort to locate a live broadcast via radio (and the net), but didn't have any success as of yet.

Wow!
What a finish! 'Dega certainly didn't disappoint - even though the Lap Seven incident collected the Dupont Chevy. Of course, last fall's 'Dega incident (between Smoke and Regan Smith) set the stage for the Edwards lift off at race end today.
Hat's off to Cousin Carl though for showing himself to be a class act in the post race interview.

Hell yes that was a great finish.
Carl was hanging around the back all day, and then gets pushed to the front in the last 3 laps by a guy that damn near got rear ended a few times cuz his car was slow/got hung out to dry, who THEN won the damn thing.
I loved it when Kyle f'ed himself blocking, especially after pulling the same crap 55 laps from the end. What a douche-bag.
Did you notice all the empty seats?

Kyle was doing a lot of blocking but Jeff Burton just ran into him and wrecked him. He should have been blackflagged. He could have wrecked half the field. It 's the kind of move Burton would be whining about post race if it happened to him.
NASCAR really needs to look at blocking, at least at plate races. It's illegal in IRL or whatever they call that series now.

Wasn't it Burton that KB about hit 55 laps from the end?
Or someone else?
Cuz that was a dumbshit move from KB if I ever saw one. He was leading the bottom line around, and the upper line was charging up when he just zoomed up there and damn near sideswiped someone - made the dude pull outta line to keep from wrecking.
KB's a hell of a driver, no doubt. But some of the shit he pulls, I'm surprised someone hasn't kicked his ass yet.
Or wait, didn't he and Tony Stewart get into it in the NASCAR trailer a couple years ago? And someone walked out with a kinda black eye?

NASCAR has no plans to address 'blocking' in their top series. NASCAR wants the wrecks. Keselowski, from Vistory Lane, spoke quite clearly on the situation (as did NASCAR in the drivers' / crew chiefs' meeting).
"I felt bad for Carl, and I'm glad he is O.K., but I was just following the rules."
We all saw what happened to Regan Smith last fall (scored as last car on the lead lap instead of second behind Smoke). Hell, Stevie Wonder could see what would happen next. Every driver knew, and Keselowski simply played the game how NASCAR wanted it played.
Think about it. Had NASCAR wanted to do something about blocking in its racing series, the death of Dale (#3) provided the perfect opportunity as Sterling Marlin punted Dale while the #3 blocked for Mikey Waltrip and Junior.
Nope, NASCAR wants these spectacular incidents to occur. Their rules ensure them.

I'm sure they would disagree, but I agree with you. I had to catch my breath when Edwards made his remark about someone getting killed, because as you point out, Dale Sr. got killed on another last lap pileup that involved some blocking.
I suppose it will take a car going up into the stands and hundreds of people getting killed. Then a combination of lawsuits and government action will take control of the situation. Edwards was within a foot or two of just that happening. Every track owner and the NASCAR brass must have nightmares over what could have happened.
