Rolex 24 Hours Of Daytona

The Rolex 24 hours of Daytona was awsome, the only draw back to me was that they didn't have any coverage of the race during the early morning, which most years seems to be when most of the action seems to happen. Not that what is shown doesn't have any action, but most of the machanical problems teams seem to have always seem to happen during the early morning period.

I also hate how, when they resume the broadcast of the race the Speed Channel personalities spend the first few minutes explaining what happen during the early morning hours, which the viewers couldn't see. What they should do is have a little pre show or something before they resume the broadcast of the race, to get everyone up to date on what had happen.

The only other problem i had was with MRN Radio, i listen to some of their broadcast in the evening of the start of the race Via Grand Am's website, and one of their broadcasters said that they would be starting again at 7am. Well i went out to my computer at 7am to listen and found out that MRN's feed wouldn't be airing until 10am. Now i don't know if they meant that MRN would be start airing at 7am, but wouldn't be broadcasted through Grand Am's website until 10 or what. But if MRN's race feed really did start at 10am instead of 7am, then i'm mad that the MRN people would lie to their viewers.

Anyway, i'm glad that Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates won, with Scott Pruett, Memo Rojas, Joey Hand, and Graham Rahal behind the wheel of the #01 TELMEX/Target BMW/Riley. And the teams sister car, the #02 Target/TELMEX BMW/Riley to finsih second with Juan Pablo Montoya, Jaime " Big Mac" McMurray, Scott Dixion and Dario Franchitti behind the wheel, i can't think of any other way for a team to start off the season.

I think Chip said it beast when in victory lane he said "We finished first three years and finshed second three years"
