That's an appropriate way to end a race broadcast.

They should just conduct the victory lane interview with an iPhone.

Jimmie's twitter explanation: "I must have hit some debris under caution because I had a soft RR tire for the restart. I didn't know until turn 1 and things got exciting."

Still pissed.

Makes me wonder why management was sitting around with their thumbs up their arses.

This line of thunderstorms had been anticipated for 2 hours at least. They should have been evacuating long before the red came out, and making sure that no-one was left outside and exposed.

Hopefully the fans aren't badly hurt.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Yeah, a lot of the media on Twitter were pretty frantic about getting fans out of the grandstands ASAP.

UPDATE: One fan was killed and nine others were injured as a result of lightning strikes following Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway. Track officials said the name or gender of the fan killed could not be released until family members were notified. They said the fan was pronounced dead on arrival at Pocono Mountain Medical Center in Stroudsburg. One other fan is in critical condition at Lehigh Hospital in Allentown. The other eight are being treated and evaluated for minor injuries at local hospitals.(ESPN.com)(8-5-2012)
