How long did Jarrett drive the Citgo car and who took over?

[battalionfan888]

Jarrett drove the car in 1990 and 1991, Morgan Shepherd took over the car in 1992

Dr. Jerry Punch 1980's-1990's = Great Pit Reporter

Dr. Jerry Punch today = mediocre play-by-play announcer

[Crisgo3d]

to me, back then ESPN had more respect for NASCAR and were good with facts. Unlike now

@NY32986 1) This was posted 3 years ago. 2) Me saying that Bob looks wierd does not change the fact for me that he sucks as a commentator just b/c his hair looked different. 3) Yes. Agree. I think he's one of the best racing commentators around to this date.

[NY32986]

@RealRacer2442 But Bob will always be bob either with the little fro he had in 1981 or when he looked for the most part the same for over a decade from the mid 80s to the 90s, to now when he's in his Mid 60s on Versus.. He's still the best with motorsports

[NY32986]

@battalionfan888 Neil Bonnett Drove it in 1989

@TheTarheel2011 1991

[TheTarheel2011]

what year did this air?

[racing202]

@ReadyToWrestle Doc's making a return though. He sounds almost like he did in 1990s

[3intimid8or]

What was the Unical ( i think I misspelled that) challenge? Like what did you have to do to win it?

[Caterpillarjon]

Damn racing was good in the 80's and early 90's.

[Caterpillarjon]

He looks like that guy Mark David Chapman that killed John Lennon.

Dr Punch was a great pit road reporter but not the same can be said about his current play by play role.
