So I tune in mid way through the race. I think I saw, what, 5 laps of green flag racing in the last 35? Jeez... This is why I can't get into Grand Am: too many full course cautions and too many full course cautions taking FOREVER to clear. Seriously, at the end there, do you think Daytona could have spared more than three guys trying to clear the track of that Mazda? WTF?

I was fully expecting Dorsey to name Larry Herman the GT winner after all the caution laps.

But I have seen a bunch in ALMS.
That aside, I was pondering as I woke up this morning whether the yellows in Grand Am are partly attributable to the level of talent in the field. The one Mazda that spun in the infield resulted in a long yellow when the Vette creamed it. A lot of cars had passed the Mazda before the Vette hit it, wtf? Similarly, the punting of the Mazda at the end of the race, which brought out yet another full course yellow, also seemed to be clumsy driving by both involved.
It is no wonder that Grand Am has great racing when they're always bunching the field. Coincidence that it is run by NASCAR guys?
At one point it seemed like it took 4-5 laps just to pick up a piece of debris that was clearly visible and sitting there on the track. WTF?? At Road America a guy would have run out in traffic to move that.
