Egads!!! NASCAR tv must be confused.........they must think these are the "good ole boys" from way down south.

Thanks for the heads up, this is always entertaining.

Sadly I missed it and didn't get to DVR it but I noticed they had DW doing the broadcast was he still giving plugs for Toyota every 20 seconds?

You should've seen his facial expressions when he was taken for a ride around the track.I thought he was going to throw up.

Great race,,,Hopefully someone from the Australia contingent attended and took some pics..

A trip to Austin in 2013 might just be on the menu...They put on a good show and not one driver in the paddock getting interviewed had a scripted response as do the NASCAR or F1 guys..

The guy who said something to the effect of throwing his ballsack over the rearview mirror and getting to it was priceless..Now that's a racers comment all the way..

Darrell must have freaked out when he turned right. I don't understand why series like this or ALMS can't get popular in North America for the most part every time it's on they put on a great show.

Here's the vid Offenhauser,Good for a few laughs for sure !! I'm sure this series will win over some North American folks when they go to the "Circuit of the Americas."

Great race I'v watched a few times since, I thought Speed did a good job. I was hoping not to hear the Boggie thing Darrel says, Oh well, But besides that I think old DW did a good job and having Leigh Diffey and Calvin Fish there helped (for us roadracers). I sure would love to see 24 of these cars cresting the hill on the back straight at Mosport
