Big fan of NBC Sports solving a problem, the fact that both of their star color commentators in Townsend Bell and James Hinchcliffe were on track at the same time, by bringing in the legendary Tom Kristensen to pull about an hour in the booth. Fascinating hearing the insight of a king of the artform and of course he's an old friend to IMSA broadcasts with him often doing an annual Zoom interview during the 12 Hours of Sebring where he was wildly successful.

Tom never managed to get a win at Daytona, but with 9 wins at Le Mans it is safe to say dude knows what he's talking about when it comes to longform endurance racing and it was something a little bit different than the norm which is always welcome even if it was mostly them being cheap not wanting to hire another full color commentator for the race.
