I still can't believe Durkin is leaving...and like others said he us unreplaceable..im pretty sure that Durkin will not call his final race on Sunday...would hope and think he is the kinda guy who might appear somewhere down the road...what was the reason for leaving anyway? Just a " its time " thing right?

He's been doing this for what, 30 years? He's got to be exhausted. That is not an easy job. Didn't he stop doing the TC races for NBC a few years back because the anxiety got to be too much?

He said in an interview---on TVG I believe---that normally when December rolls around he is ready for his vacation, and as his vacation winds down that he is raring to go for another season. This year at the end of his winter vacation he just wasn't as excited as he usually is and felt that if he were to go until the end of his contract (2015) that it would probably have been a year too late.
