Have seen many jocks go down and it always sucks but this is the first time I see a No Contest being declared.

Yea they usually don't go down at the start and there are less and less two turn races. He went down after the finish line but not by much.

Piss poor job by Kurt Becker to explain what was happening. He still hasn't. Then Battaglia comes on and says, "If you saw what happened, Calvin Borel was being treated on the track"... NO, we didn't see what happened, the camera never showed what was happening, and Becker didn't announce what was happening...

Seth, I was listening to the call on the radio. Thought Becker explained it pretty well.
