shoot I still listen to MRN when I'm sittin' in the stands watchin', LOL
For some reason my local country station is airing music instead of carrying the MRN feed like they usually do. I'm trapped with no updates until I can get home and watch.

Thank you SCJ for second place.

I didn't want to seem greedy.

I rushed home and got to watch the last 9 laps, and I guess that was better than nothing. Still peeved that I couldn't find it on the radio for the drive home. Drove like a bat out of Hades hoping Mark was still in 1st or 2nd when I got to the TV. ESPN Radio was broadcasting a friggin' baseball game.

I'm with you Richard, all of this channel changing is annoying as all get out. At least when it was on Fox it was usually on Fox. My parents don't have cable but at least they could watch part of the races until they left for church.

A bit off topic from NASCAR, but.....

Please say a prayer for Felipe Massa (f-1 driver for Ferrari).

He was hit in the head by a spring from Reubens Barichello's car during qualifying, went into a barrier at high speed, and is under medical sedation for multiple skull fractures.

Prayers offered for Felipe.

I guess there are some races I'm glad I did NOT watch.

John Surtsees' son was killed in the same manner not long ago.

Not a good week for racing.

Surtees's incident is most likely what lead to the suspension of Renault for the next race.

Fernando Alonso's pit crew didn't properly replace the tire on the car during a pit stop and it came off on the track.

The worst part about the incident with Massa was that F-1 kept replaying the incident over and over. The in car cam on Massa's Ferrari caught the whole incident, from the spring hitting him, Massa losing consciousness, Massa coming to briefly, hitting the brakes, then hitting the barrier. They ran it in slow motion couple times, it really reminded me of the Theisman injury on MNF.

(For those who don't follow F-1, the feed broadcast on Fox and Speed here in the US is F-1's race feed with Speed's announcers calling the race. They talk about whatever Bernie's boys are feeding them)
