1999 Exide NASCAR Select Batteries 400 - Part 1 of 18

God, why can't NASCAR coverage today be on par with this?

I like to call it "pre-Dale Earnhardt" coverage, because ever since his death in Feb. of 2001, coverage seems to be lacking.

just days later, ESPN learn that it lost

its NASCAR rights from 2001.

We dont need no 2 hour prerace shows, the 5 minute intro was great.

[goknights39908]

but i think you need to talk about all the stories on the race track during the weekend, so you will get a bigger build-up, and that is good, but you just need as much time for a pre-race, as their are stroies on the track, today at Richmond ESPN with ABC does just that, there will be 30 minutes of pre-race tonight, and that enough to talk about one big story this weekend, witch is of course, the fight for the Chase.

Ray Dunlap was a substitute pit reporter for John Kernan at the 1999 Exide NASCAR Select Batteries 400.

During the 80's, 90's and the year 2000, ESPN did not have pre-race ceremonies until the network's return to NASCAR business in 2007.

Great coverage and good racing.

Both are hard to come by these days.

ESPN/ABC need to watch these videos.
