Good race. Hunter-Reay wins. Busch made a respectable showing.

the coverage demonstrates what the broadcasters want--the human "drama" of the race--final 3 laps nearly exclusively split screen watching two bimbos watching the race--not even watching the actual race, but the race on TV--50' from the track. It's same same crap that's led to a 3 hour kentucky derby pre-race and the same contrived "drama" that follows gymnastics and figure skating in the olympics

I'm glad someone said something about horse racing. What a bunch of bullshit, NBC or whatever dumb station currently has the rights acting like America cares so much about a horse getting the triple crown. Boggles my damned mind. A previous client routinely sank $500,000 per year of his wife's money into his little horse racing hobby (he owned race horses that once in awhile won some minor race, recouping ohhhh 5% of his investment).

Marquez is.... ridiculous. It's cool because we're probably seeing a legend in the making.
