NASCAR-teams har én ting til fælles med de danske sølvbryllupskvarterer med ligusterhække. Der bliver snakket meget. Rigtig meget, endda.
Det samme var gældende, da Jan Magnussen søndag som første dansker kørte NASCAR i Sprint Cup Series på Infineon Raceway, det tidligere Sears Point. Rigtig mange danske racerfans sad klistret til fladskærmen søndag aften, men mindst én af dem sad også og lyttede med på teamradioen mellem ’spotteren’ og bil #09.
Her kan du læse højdepunkterne fra kommunikationen på pitradioen mellem Jan Magnussen og pitmuren – opsnappet af Jonas Boye.
