I've heard him say that the media in Australia is much more "gotcha" journalism and they'll take out one part of an interview and blow it out of proportion. I won't say that NASCAR journalists won't ask tough questions, but they won't blow things out of proportion and throw out a bunch of "click bait" headlights. While while NASCAR fans can be a little bit biased towards their driver, they are pretty level-headed when it comes to the sport overall and the drivers, and generally demand accurate, reasonable reporting. Now when it comes to criticizing NASCAR (the governing body), and the broadcasting, all bets are off. In the US, fans have a lot of access to the drivers. On any given weekend, between all three series, if you get there early, you can go to at least 5 to 10 q&as, where, depending on the driver, you have a good chance of getting a couple autographs and a couple questions. So I think, well there might be a driver or two that someone might hate, especially if they've had a run-in with your favorite driver, I think fans overall appreciate the drivers. And I think the media reflects that.

@@sethbomgardner9030 Australian 'journalism' is a pathetic joke.

Big difference in the environment. Media and Commentators worlds apart.

We don't know him any other way.

Absolutely, met him at Bathurst 12hr a few years ago, barely got a word from him. Good on him, good lad.

Yes , it is good to see him loving the life style and racing, but at the end of the day shane is only a racing car driver, good luck to him ..his not saving starving children etc thou.

​@@chrisschneiders6734bit of a weird comment that has absolutely nothing to do with Shane driving this weekend.

He was due for a change after Scott went to Indycar and Kostecki got championship...

Wasn’t that because he had a hangover and was going to throw up? 🍻🍻🍻

@@MyBlueZed No, he was coming down and needed another line.

Had a celebration.... Was bit hungover at Sonoma spotting for Will Brown after win...

💯

There is a youtube video of Scotty Mac taking his dad for a lap around Bathurst in his V8 Supercar at the peak of his Aussie dominance.. very cool ride along.. Cheers

He'll yea!!!!!

Hell* 😅

He's Loving Everything Minute 💯

'G' man? If by that, you mean polite, wholesome etc, yes! However, I don't think he works for the FBI!!

He's Awesome

💯

Yeah, I can go along with that!

i bet SVG would school marcos on a street course!..or road course for that matter!

HELL YEAH ...! "GO THE GIZ"

Too much vehicle, not enough driver in Stuporcars. The best horse (team) wins, not necessarily the best jockey.

Yeah, that is a big handicap, nonetheless if he gets a good run he can repeat. There's only GFTL Septics to beat!

Yeah until the ABs lost to Ireland at Soldiers field

@munzy5865 yep and it was great for Ireland and rugby in the US

You guys have weird animals

You’re embarrassing us please stop

​@@Winters34 diversity, my friend, embrace that which you have no control over...

No need to gloat

Like Burt Munro, Bruce Maclaren Chris Amon Denny Hulme Scott Dixon and alot more younger ones coming thru

Welcome to democrat utopia.

Road course is purpose built.. ie Sonoma, COTA Street is closing roads the public use with lots of concrete barriers.. the concrete walls being the level up in difficultly in particular.

@@mickd8188 ..bathurst is both by that logic! :P street circuits arnt far from road courses..they just temporary...

@@WacKEDmaN sometimes they are referred to as Hybrid circuits. and yes street/ road are similar.
