FAQ's say you can still watch it PPV anytime after the live event.

I believe I know what I will be doing Friday night now !!

Race has been moved up to right now because Florida is banning gatherings starting at midnight Freedom 500 Live Stream

I tuned in early and I'm already highly entertained. This is like a spec Crown Vic $2000 Challenge held on an oval track, with nitrous. 

OK everybody, pick the winners. I think Jamie from PFI in 1st place

This must be what it was like to watch the first ever NASCAR race. Doesn't get much more grassroots than this.

got a textbook pit manuver there

That green car got pitted like 3 times now! Brent in 77 got some moves. Also, 3 wide in caution lol.

Is anyone else having audio issue? Mine keeps dropping out.

yea, same here

Must be a production issue.

Either way still a good race IMO.

Same audio issues here.. pretty entertaining so far! 

1st true big big wreck at lap 96 isnt bad imo. I mean stoppage time-wise

The ending was pretty epic! I hope the fun he had with it motivates him to host some real circle track racing at the facility again. I live 10 mins away and have a neon circle track racer just waiting to run.  

Feed died about 20 seconds after the finish. No post race celebration or recap?

I lost the stream at the "big one" on lap 96 but got it back in time for that epic finish. Saving the nitrous for the end really made a difference! Love how he won his own race at his own track and doesn't give a berkeley. That was a fun, interesting experience.

With all the uncertainty in the motorsports industry and the skyrocketing popularity of youtube/viral personalities, we may have just witnessed the future of racing events. I can't imagine how much better this would have been with actual good production quality. Hopefully one day I can tune in for the 30th running of the Freedom 500.

It ran until the end for me.

They probably wanted to give everyone enough time to pack up and get home before the big curfew hits at midnight.

Hmmm I did have it paused for a bathroom break, maybe when they pulled the plug they killed the streams a few minutes behind too. Bummer

I just saw the top three pull off the track to the burnout pad and it ended.

There was definitely more! 20-car burnout on his freshly poured concrete pad. That was pretty wild.

That was awesome.  I'm so happy for those guys.  

Missed the stream entirely I hope they have it uploaded tomorrow so I can watch it while knocking out some emails.

I hope they try and fix the audio if they do.

Once they get the broadcast bugs worked out, this will be infinitely better than Nascar.

That giant group burnout at the end was great!!

I just got an email that says it's available on demand for 10 days as part of the PPV. Which is good because I wasn't able to watch the whole thing last night (I neglected to notice that the first 2 hours was pre-race stuff).
