Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen

This is Doodles Weaver in the pressbox

In Indianapolis for the races out here

It is a beautiful day for the races

Not a cloud in the sky

A hundred and fifty thousand people are waiting for this great event

And what a spectacle, what a wonderful spectacle

I’ll describe the whole thing now

The boys are coming round the turn

And I believe it is a perfect sight

As they come down here

The green flag waves

The starter says OK

And THERE THEY GOOOOOO!

It’s car number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack

Jack?

Hit me again dealer

Number 10 has taken a lead around the park turn there he goes

Number 13, 16, 17, green car, blue car

The first car by the turn will be number 10

Here he comes down the straight-away at a 135 miles per hour

(Voom) there he goes now, car number 3, (voom) 4, (voom) 5

A wreck!

A wreck in the park turn, a man skidding around

Out of control, up to the fence, down to the fence

Unless he’s careful, he’s going to hit the fence

Please don’t hit that fence.

(bang)

He hit it

Ladies and gentlemen

There’s been a very slight accident in the park turn involving 35 cars

I’ve have my assistent Pootwaddle on the track with a travelling microphone

I’m going to have him cross to that driver who’s being taken away,

but be careful

I’m down on the track now, and as I cross the track

I… (voom) Number 3 went by there, as I cross the track… (voom)…

4 went by there, well I…(voom)

I’m having a little trouble getting across the…(voom)…track

Here’s the driver of that car

Say a few words driver, so everbody will know that you’re perfectly okay

Aaaaaiiaaauuu!

You just heard the driver of that car.

He’s all right

Finish the race, please (whoop)

Ladies and gentlemen

This is Doodles Weaver back in the stand for the finish of the race

For you people who have tuned in late

Number 30 just sat a record.

(voom)

There he goes now, passing everybody

Every eye glued on that car

Looks very funny with all those eyes glued on it

Here he goes, (voom) there he goes again

Look at that boy drive.

(voom)

Look at him go, he’s really going.

(voom)

There he goes again

Look out.

(voom, voom)

He went by twice.

And here’s a little midget

A little midget racer doing well

Look at that little midget there.

(zip)

The little midget racer went by (voom) 9 (voom) 12 (roar)

A P-38, how did that get in the race?

And (voom) 12 (voom) 9

And the best man is number 13, around the turn

Down to the green flag

He’s coming down here for a … tight … yep, think of a perfect finish down

here

And I believe he’s going to be the winner

The crowd is going mad as he comes down

There goes the winnerrrrrrrrr!
