Dawn of "The Earl"?
Narrated by Bob Jenkins: Highlights of the '91 race...but rebroadcast in '95 with a commercial to buy tickets for the '96 race at Disney.. (1:28).
IIRC, Disney Co. already owned ABC/ESPN back then. I'm not usually one of those 'conspiracy theory' folks..but in this case?
Maybe so. OTOH, the ad for the Disney 200 only appears once in this. Seems like a real Corporate Overlord would have had that ad in every commercial break.
There's good stuff here, though. Danny in the Alfa, Bobby Ray making the old "..rather be lucky than good.." comment on camera, and Gary Bettenhausen cutting a 224 in a non-factory effort. Hiro and Willie T. qualify.
Buicks burst, which probably lead to that rule that Penske & Illmore used to build "The Beast" a couple of years later.
Other ad worth noticing is the Kit Kat Bar thing. Full lyrics, back when the jingle was new. :D
Again, apologies for the tape tracking errors in the upload. Last VHS machine I have that still works has automatic tracking, and I don't have the ability to get rid of that stuff.
