Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich was just interviewed and Rocky is fine.

Also caught a short interview with Michael Waltrip about 15-20 minutes ago after he got out of the car and it was interesting. He is definitely humbled by his 2011 Lemans experience. Definitely a type of racing he has not had much exposure to. I am not a NASCAR fan, but I wish Michael all the luck the next time he gets back in the car.

Michael's a good guy. Anyone who thinks it doesnt take driving talent to win a NASCAR race at Daytona needs to get the rest of their lobotomy done.

There are two Flying Lizard entries. One is in the GT-Pro class (so yes it is competing against the Corvette #73) and the other one is in the GT-AM class.

Oh and EuroSport's stream feed can be found here:

The 73 Corvette and the 80 Lizard are in the same class. GT is broken down into Am and Pro, but both classes run essentially the same regulations. Corvette leads right now, and the 80 Lizard is in 4th. The Amatuer Lizard car is leading GTE Am.

BTW, I don't think I could ever get tired of the sound of those Corvettes.

The Lizards just lost the lead in the GTE Am class after a puncture. But they are back on the track. 7.5 hours to go. Lots of time still.

You put Neiman in the car and it goes in the kitty litter. You put Pumpelly in the car and it goes to the top of the charts.

Let's keep the "pros" in the car Seth. Seriously....

Disaster for the class leading GTE-Pro Corvette losing control of his back end and collecting a Felbermyer Porsche at the same time. Safety Car. Fifth time in the race.
