2001 CART Michigan 500 - Part 1 of 15 (Intro&Starting Grid)

[flracing84]

What if CART continued to race at michigan, would we see a night race there??

[TheCarlsonsRaiders]

CART rules, bring this back and get rid of this IRL crap!

[alexf1freak]

Oh machinehead =) I LOVE that f****** music in the intro!!

[MVPVDO]

You know I used to hate CART, but in all honesty I was wrong. The IRL is wrong and Tony was wrong. I'm ashamed of what has happened to open wheel racing :(

[minonkracer]

Man, I loved that old abc sports intro

[yellowbelly70]

ABC still uses that music for whatever IRL races it still broadcasts.

[ivoracing]

Hello Everybody!!! Great times!!! I so Hope that come back one day the US 500 in Michigan.

I have a question what is the song in the 5:28 when starts to showing the starting grid??

Thank you

and excuse me my poor english :-)

[FrodothePuppet]

Your English is alright! I don't know what the name of the music is but it's kinda catchy!

Dixon, Servia, and Tag all look so much younger (relative to everyone else's age difference)!

So strange to see Jimmy (and Alex for that matter) NOT in a Ganassi car, and Mike NOT in a Newman-Haas car.

[DeamonBR]

Machinehead by bush

[Buggy1Boy]

RIP Jim McKay

[dhfiuejfdhjfoiewdjmn]

i didnt kno they use the same music on the indy broadcast now

[Litch2]

Me neither, but it is quite catchy.

[dhfiuejfdhjfoiewdjmn]

i know, it makes me think of great open wheel racing. love it

[TimmyTickle]

In terms of drivers, the grid for this race was one of the strongest in recent years...and possibly the last strong field of drivers CART/ChampCar had. Hopefully the unified IRL can get some more known drivers soon.

[alexrossete]

it doesnt matter anyway (timmy tickle) Tony George really want to kill the open wheel racing in north america; the TV package on versus is just a wrong desition; im from mexico, and we dont have any option to see the Indycar; and a lot of cities in the US have the same problem; for me that times (80s, 90s) and the turbos engines was just magical.. INDYCAR, CART or CHAMPCAR, was the best open wheel racing series; IRL have underpowered and ugly cars (dallara) and a leader (TG) sick of power.

rofl the audio at 0:12 is from a NASCAR race (97 Purolator 500) and they matched it with a IndyCar clip

[Ruddfan1997]

Benny's call of Steve Grissom's wreck is just that awesome I guess

[rustyshackleford01]
