Johnson? I could listen all day.
He's got that style where one could close their eyes and see the race. (A lot of the time anyway).
What do you all think and can anyone answer?

I personally like Durkin (but I'm am clearly biased). Does Johnson even call races anymore? I know he called a few cards at the Meadowlands a couple of years ago and from what I remember he wasn't as smooth as he used to be (actually it was pretty rough and those were 6 horse fields). I'm just thinking that maybe the networks feel that DJ can't handle such a big gig anymore.
