Anyone know of a reliable site to watch this online? It is blacked out in our area and most of the googled sites I've taken a look at don't look very promising.

Thanks

I am listening to my iPhone app WIBC (the local radio station coverage).

It is a tradition for me to LISTEN live on the radio.

Try this:

I don't know if you got to watch but the last 10 laps or so were awesome. Danika Patrick was leading but was about 3 laps short on fuel and had to pit. Then a rookie was leading when he hit the wall on the last turn on the last lap. Dang, I hope it was a mechanical problem and not rookie jitters.

I felt bad for the poor kid. I think he got up into the rubber "marbles" a little too fast and that's what slid him into the wall. That's the part of the turn where all the tire debris ends up and he drove right into it. I think he was just excited and not thinking like he should have.

Probably lack of experience, got off line at the end. The old timers (guys in their 30's) keep talking that you can't loose your concentration. I was impressed though that the kid kept the hammer down and came in 2nd with about 1/4 of his car gone. Number 2 isn't bad for a rookie.
