      I just can't watch it anymore. I was a huge NASCAR fan for over 40 years. I finally grew out of it this year, I guess. Or, it outgrew me. One or the other.

        While a hole in the track has delayed the Daytona 500, a 12 hour Production Car race at Bathurst was stopped yesterday when a tree fell across the track during a storm.

          I bet everyone there heard the crack when that tree snapped.

            Whoo wee. I listened to 90% of the race on SirusXM, and caught the end on TV, not a bad a race at all.

                Nice finish. I like the multiple trys to end with a green flag.

                    Yeah great finish. Jnr's run to the line was amazing. the restart before the run to the flag was exciting too.

                      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.

                        I dont care who you are. It was worth waiting 5 hours to see that finish and see the 1 car win.

                            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 Voda

                              My thoughts to the letter. I just hope that ESPN2 doesn't cut it short with a spelling bee/girls basket ball/Poker coverage, like most of the past seasons.


                              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!

                                I'm usually not at a loss for words, but I don't think anybody alive could have said that better. Kudos to Dave!
