That's astonishing. With that kind of ability in the wet, it makes you wonder why he didn't make it in Europe - who didn't spot that talent? Great to see him back winning again

Other than the unnecessarily long yellow with 20 to go, that was a pretty decent race.

Awesome race!

Wasn't able to see all of it from a couple tornado warnings tho

coverage of this race was 100 times better than ABC ever did with it - NBC actually showed the mid-pack battles that people at the track watching would talk about

In Europe, it's more about $$$$ than in the US (sounds weird to say it rather than the opposite, doesn't it? :p )

there's been some stock car drivers from over here going over to run in Euro, they had some driver search deal last fall which I think started the trend tho

See, ABC, this is what happens when you properly promote something. :p

(Also agree that the NBC coverage was *way* better than previous ABC years.)
