Great race. Great call. Mr. Durkin will be missed and I hate to be the person that tries to fill those shoes.

The turn for home in this race is very similar to how he handled the turn for home in Rachel's Woodward. He realized - or predicted perfectly - that something dramatic was about to happen and was ready with a line that captured it. It's those types of lines that made his calls so memorable.
