It looked like an exciting race from the short highlight video I seen on youtube. Unfortunately F1 has lousy tv coverage here in the states with ESPN. Local ABC channel had infomercials on yesterday so they could have easily re-aired the race on a channel everyone can get. On a related note Romain Grosjean finished 10th in his Indycar debut at Barber. He was in the top 5 for quite a while. Jimmy Johnson didn't fare as well he finished 19th. Alex Bowman stole a win at Richmond yesterday taking the lead after a late race restart and holding off Denny Hamlin. Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex jr dominated the race. Martin Truex jr had a pit road penalty but was able to finish in 5th place. Top 10 1 Alex Bowman 2 Denny Hamlin 3 Joey Logano 4 Christopher Bell 5 Martin Truex jr 6 Aric Almirola 7 William Byron 8 Kyle Busch 9 Matt Dibenedetto 10 Austin Dillon

Well, we had a wet start to the race in Italy today, and it produced some great driving and a few crashes (admittedly not many by NASCAR standards!). Hamilton made a rare mistake, but made an impressive recovery to finish second and with the fastest lap. While I've got the thread diverted to F1, it was announced earlier today that the Austin Grand Prix will be joined by a new race in Miami in 2022 to give the US two grands prix next year. The 3.36 mile circuit will be around the stadium of the Miami Dolphins - more info here.

Thanks Hoss for covering for me...it has been a busy week/end. Race is tomorrow...August 4th. On JEFF GORDON's BIRTHDAY. Gordon will turn 42 years YOUNG and guess what...this is Gordon's 42nd time of racing at Pocono. Hopefully it ends up as a win. My opinion...of course. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF GORDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I said...he finished too far ahead of Gordon. Though why would you trust a site that has Crash in it's title? LOL

LOL...thought it looked wrong when I wrote it out. DOH me!
