AJ, delziel, Nasr. Pruett is 1 down, pablo 2 down. gt a caution or 2 and we'll have a 5man race again. Pruett missing 3rd gear though wont help on a restart or in the hairpins. He's pretty much out of it.

It's been the same 7 to 9 commercials for the entire coverage of the race. It's a bit much.

What happened to going to all those commercials before so we could get them out of the way? There is less then 25 mins to go now. They better stay with the race the rest of the way.

That is not a $60 value. That's two $2 bills....a $4 value!

A full course caution coming up? This could get interesting if so.

That made me laugh too. They did a great job letting the race unfold naturally, even if it was often a little boring. A GWC after 24 hours would be a shame.
IMO After the big teams beat themselves, there wasn't enough action. Part of that might be how hyped up the race was about the 3:1 ration of GT's to DP's. There were 60 cars total, 45 GT and 15 DP. But Suntrust was out, Gainesco was out, all they had left was ganassi. After Pruett trashed the gearbox, I think the announcers, for that last hour, didn't really know what to do. Even with both ganassi cars (say around 10AM this morning), they still seemed a little lost because they're used to camera hogging on the suntrust/gainesco/ganassi quartet. Michael shank usually isn't even mentioned. As usual, GT was the red headed step child and only got an update every now and then.
They need more DP's. Even with the small teams. Matt Young said he's hoping to have his program ready soon, but he's been saying that since I was on myspace (that's a good 4 years).
