The Spokesman-Review

I am writing this letter to address the lousy coverage the Spokesman-Review has on sports – some local and some national. My main grievance at this time is NASCAR.

What is up with the lack of coverage? It’s always sporadic, to say the least. I am a weekend and Wednesday subscriber and will single purchase throughout some weeks also.

I can never open the paper and know that I am going to get up-to-date coverage on the races. What is up with that? I want to know the lineup for all races every weekend and I’m sure I speak for many fans when I say that. Why is your coverage so lousy? NASCAR is big in this nation and Spokane treats it like its low-grade elementary.

Please, someone, get it together and start putting up-to-date and consistent race coverage in the paper.
