Tony stewart wins at Indy

Look at all the new stuff ESPN had at the race today to broadcast the show with. A whole new shop to show parts of the car for viewers and to show what parts of teh car needs fixing or is broken. Also had a big screen in there with animated video display showing an engine breaking. Then they had the cartoonic looking graphic showing the air circulating around the cars.......is pretty cool for a bit but got kinda of old fast. Didn't another station try this stuff with the NHL? Remember the streak behind teh puck when it was shot over a certain mph?
Anyway all this stuff seems fine for TV viewers I guess but I am sort of a purist who like sthe old way of showing this stuff like when FOX does it from a cutaway car.
Anyway congrats to Tony Stewart for winning and not falling to the ground after he climbed the fence at the starting line. And bad luck to Dale Jr. as he broke his engine after leading for awhile.
