They recognize that one of the most important races of the year shouldn't be interrupted by QUALIFYING.<br /><br />With a 24 hour race to cover, they have plenty of time to get commercials in. That's especially true because many of them are only 10 seconds long. I don't belive that they've been away at commercials for more than 30 seconds. <br /><br />many times they've gone a minute or more without saying anything. Just watch the cars and listen to the race.<br /><br />They don't hesitate to call out when the cameramen are showing the wrong angle or wondering why they aren't showing the incident that's just been announced by race control. They also are quick to correct each other when someone's made a ridiculous statement or hasn't been listening to what's just been said.<br /><br />Nobody is telling me what shock absorbers do, nobody is telling me what things were like when they were driving. There are no animated sequences that fill up half the screen. They don't have a Pizza Hut Favorite Driver or the Dodge Hard Charger of the race.<br /><br />They not only acknowledge that there are other race series, but they provide updates on NASCAR and Indycar so that we don't have to play commercial tag switching between channels in an effort to get an update.<br /><br />Not only is it watchable, it's watchable for sixteen hours straight.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283047990239738052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-59859765864261577022011-06-11T23:48:02.965-04:002011-06-11T23:48:02.965-04:00P.S.

AMAZING.<br /><br />The director/producer at least allowed us to see the cars whiz over the line.<br /><br />Course in Indycar, they look alike to me & I can't tell who's driving what but I digress<br /><br />:-DSophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-47890698829397725312011-06-11T23:33:10.138-04:002011-06-11T23:33:10.138-04:00Agree Wheldon IS doing well in the booth.

One car nearly jumped the tire barrier, showering spectators with debris, including a tire. Lots of updates on the driver's condition (he walked away) but not that first word on potential spectator injuries. They're rerun it several times; I assume they wouldn't do so if someone was visibly hurt.Palmettonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-51510869586584487382011-06-11T10:07:14.455-04:002011-06-11T10:07:14.455-04:00That's gonna make the highlight reel.
