You know you long for old style racing, when you are watching a vhs copy of a 30 year old race on KZbin and don't bother to move past the commercials. And I REMEMBER watching this race as a 12 year old.

[@howabouthetruth2157]

I was at this race. We arrived the afternoon before and camped in the infield & watched the race from just about every in the infield we were allowed to go during the 500. I was 27 yrs old at the time.

[@angelskaixo5188]

I see Kyle Bush as the first of an incoming generation. Everyone now can race well enough, but they can't just shut up and keep the crying and drama out of the media. Remember when DE gave Terry Labonte the dump and run at bristol on the last lap. Dale said" I didn't mean to spin him, just rattle his cage". Didn't see Terry next crying about Dale. He just remembered it and went out next week with payback in the back of his mind. Everything was settled on the track.

The in car footage is absolutely stellar! I remember this fondly... doesn't seem that long ago really. But the perspective, the focal length is SPOT on ... just well executed. F1 did this too ... the forward looking without excessive wideangle. IndyCar shots are well done using wideangle lens. Quality HDTVs can be spectacular with a wide angle high def shot... but back then formatted 4:3, the tighter, more realistic perspective made was just killer. What's important ... was more focused ... like the view out the windshield. CBS Sports production team, Ken Squire, Ned Jarrett, Mike Joy, and Dave Despain... for goodness sake, best of the best.
