At 2:28, they come back from commercial, and it appears to be the moment from which they switch from recorded commentary to the original live commentary. McKay's tone changes, and his reporting style seems more up-to-date.
The scoring system in the tower crashed at the halfway point, and everyone at the track thought Al Sr was 2nd (which is what McKay reported live at that time), but later that night Al was penalized for running over his air hose, and Roberto was discovered to be the true 2nd

Rick Mears and Wilbur Shaw, I think, are the two "ideal" and iconic Indianapolis 500 champions. Talent. Class. Winners. They sort of personify the place as it really is.

@altfactor I was 12 years old and sitting in H grandstand.On Lap 168 Sneva had pulled within a car length under the yellow but his CV joint broke prior to the restart.I think Tom Terrific would have had him but we'll never know.

ABC was still showing the race on tape the evening it was run.
And during those years, Jim McKay and Sam Posey would record their description of the start, the first few laps, the last few laps, and the finish as they happened.
Because the prime-time presentation was taped, the middle of the race was edited. McKay and Posey would add their "call" to the edited tape as it was being broadcast to the Eastern half of the country.
Since 1986, the "500" has been televised live.

Roberto Guerrero trying to get a lap back, not knowing at the time he was actually finishing in second place. Had he slipped by Mears just then and gotten the lap back, he would have been able to go around another full lap, and Mear'ss margin of victory would have been only 1 lap (it ended up being 2 laps+0.021 seconds).
