11:27 Cars: Mishap for Miller

Following a crash after 45 km of the day’s car-truck special stage, Mark Miller (VW) has badly damaged the bodywork of his Race Touareg 3, with a broken windscreen, the bonnet ripped off and a door that will not shut anymore It still has not stopped the American who is soldiering on, but less quickly than before.

Couple of other programs on VS that I catch are "Dirt Knights" (about dirt Late Model racers) in Minnesota and "Gun It" (a hunting show that is like how my hunting goes mostly) with Benny Spies.
