Yes a spoiler....and my DVR did not pick it up at all!

I have "race", "racing", "drag" and a few other keywords and they always work for everything, including Nascrap but for some reason skipped Sebring.

He had some help. Not that I'd have any particular reason to mention it...

Johnny is a great guy but the feat is diminished by lack of competition the others have faced when getting the wins.

DISH showed the event title as "AMERICAN LE MANS SERIES" I think. We need computers to do what we want them to do, not what we tell them to do

Just to make sure I completely beat this dead horse, if I've recorded something and I don't want to know the result, I make certain to avoid places where the discussion is certain to come up. I can't control what others post, but I can control whether I visit a web site where the discussion is certain to.

podium at the end of the race.

Congratulations also to the #4 team for their second place finish.
While they are rivals with the #3, I imagine that there is give-and-take
that makes the whole Corvette effort greater than the sum of the
individual teams.
