This was my favorite last year. I am sure you guys know the history between Bergmeister and Vilander. Classic Porsche vs Ferrari. This clip doesnt show the actual end but Porsche won and Ferrari was hit with a 90 sec penalty. Early in the video, you can see Vilander blocking Bergmeister from passing. This rivalry goes back years.....

Some good ones this year. NASCAR Sprint Cup had their closest finish in the history of the organization but it was points, not seconds.

I was working turn 8 that day. I got a WTF look from Vilander later in the race for showing him a blue flag. The P1 leaders were coming up fast, flashing their light, and he was holding them up. hey, just doin' my job. Some great racing going on that day.

I was pulling for hopper to win BSB
It would have been a nice poke with a sharp stick to have a American win their series.

I was just gutted that Hopkins didn't win that. He's had so many injuries and comebacks... a phenomenal talent who rides his heart out. That was an incredible lap. For those of you that race and those that don't... these guys are super-human. I can't begin to comprehend how they do what they do and keep those bikes upright. Imagine manhandling a 220HP, 350LB bike to your will at average speeds of over 120MPH a lap. These guys are not along for the ride. They throw these bikes around. Amazing.
