Can’t wait Justin … super excited about the 14 weekends ahead mate 👍.
Just remember NASCAR Fans, when the NASCAR Cup Series wraps up today at Indianapolis, we’re back to @NASCARonNBC and USA next week in Iowa, and @leighdiffey is back for another season.

Finchy = legend! Congratulations IBF on an amazing career on the course & in the booth! 👏.
Ian Baker-Finch today announced his retirement from broadcasting golf after an incredible 30-year run, the past 19 with CBS Sports. Baker-Finch will work CBS Sports’ final two tournaments of the Network’s 2025 season, with his last broadcast coming at the Wyndham Championship

There’s been a dozen different winners this year … not sure anything needs to change does it? Keeping an eye and an open mind to refining is always important for any series but 12 different winners is something to be proud of.
@leighdiffey Curious to know. What would you like to see change in nascar? Car? Track? Playoff system? Allstar?.

Very good … the more manufacturers win keeps the passion and commitment high … BMW, Ferrari, Toyota et al 👍.
@leighdiffey Thoughts on Cadillac getting its maiden win in WEC in a 1-2 finish?.

Of course! I called MotoGP for many years … my oldest friend in life @DB_Adventures was world #2 and our mate @micksdoohan is a 5x world champion and my first commentary partner was 2x World Champion Barry Sheene. It’s been a major part of my life/career. Marquez is magic 👌.
@leighdiffey Do you ever watch MotoGP? What do you think of Marc Marquez? Love to hear you commentate that.

Love to hear that brother … seems to be the general consensus. Joseph Kocinski and Jerry Bruckheimer did an awesome job!.
@leighdiffey @F1Movie @Thrusta1 Saw the F1 movie here in Indy last night - far better than I expected and I thoroughly enjoyed it!.

Ok.
@leighdiffey I would love to have some quiet time during races where I can hear the cars and the drivers without the constant chatter from announcers.

The absence of Hy-Vee and NASCAR coming in three weeks.
@leighdiffey I heard attendance in Iowa was bad for IndyCar. Why do you think that is?.

Look for the other, most compelling stories … it’s tough though.
@leighdiffey From a broadcaster perspective, how do you keep people interested when the championship is pretty much over before the finale? As an IndyCar fan I will watch every race, but I can see viewership drop once Palou officially wins as the races seemingly don't matter at that point.
