At 19:00 GMT, [14:00 EST] yesterday, the Last Great Race on Earth began. The field of 83 starters were strapped in and on the line. There was no green flag but fans packed the starting line, with flags from Norway, Italy, Canada and USA.

This has to be the biggest race of the year for all the race fans out there and these drivers are no mush balls….. well, I guess they are, but not in the Steph sense. This is the longest race that will be run all year and not one where the biggest $$$ make the winner. This race is where the driver actually does some work and the pit crews are not a drill team although teamwork WILL be the thing that decides the winner.

I know all race fans will be hanging on every move made and this is an event that can consume even more time than the Super Bowl. Here’s the coverage links that you will all be glued to for the entire race. Get a BIG sandwich and a fresh keg and enjoy.
