Does anyone have a shot of the official Speed Channel "Pass Now" flag?

    Does anyone have a shot of the official Speed Channel "Pass Now" flag?

    It seems to me that if there's only going to be a handful of passes at the front of the pack in a given race, all of them will happen when Speed is on a commercial break. And then only about 50% of the time will they run a replay of the action they just missed. I'm wondering if it's something you can't see from home like TV timeouts in football. Do they have special flags they wave to tell the riders Speed is on break and it's okay for them to pass?

    Last year I switched up my TV package and started getting Speed Channel. This season was the first that I started watching motorcycle racing on TV. So, maybe it's just that I'm new to this and I've never been to a live race, but I feel like it's ridiculous and can't possibly be chance.
