Re: Daytona 500
What is sealed for me is Mike Joy's total greatness as an announcer. Those guys in the booth had the nightmate scenario with the hole in the track, all the yeller flag stuff, just a TON of time to fill. They didn't go crazy throwing the coverage around to every pit reporter at the track, they kept 90+% of the banter and junk in the booth.
It blows goats to fill oil down time at a drag strip with 10,000 people in it. I CANNOT imagine the pressure when having to fill time in front of a crowd of millions on the TV. The guy never broke a sweat. He's awesome, and knocked that whole deal out of the park.
Sad to see million dollar Bill go out like that, with a wreck at the til end of the field.
I never thought the cold patch job would hold, but it did.
Good finish....I'm not buying a sticker with anyone's number on it, but I had a good time watching.
The drags start in a couple minutes!
That which you manifest is before you.

Re: Daytona 500
At the start of the race I was wondering if Mike Joy is a great announcer or does he just seem like it because the other two are so hard to listen to. Waltrip babbles on like he's never been to a race before and McReynolds can't even speak proper english. Fox NASCAR is hard to watch.
Good thing they have Mike Joy, Dick Berggren, and Krista VodaCognizant Dissident

The 500 was a good race however, cool to see the 1 car win, and have a little emotion for doing so.
And yes, thank goodness for Mike Joy!Jeremy George in Windsor NY
