If you thought South American soccer (or football, to the layperson) commentary was the best sports could get, then you haven't listened to the Japanese.
Saturday's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Talladega Super Speedway, and like most races at Talladega, it ended with a simply gigantic accident.
Our own commentators were excited about it, but it just couldn't compare to the reaction from our friends in Japan, people who didn't have any drivers in the race or skin in the game. But that doesn't matter, because their enthusiasm for the sport, even when a crash is occurring, is infectious.
