This race marks the beginning of the end of good racing in short ovals for CART. It was first race CART used superspeedway wings in short ovals and from that point on, overtaking in short ovals become more and more difficult.
Didn't know Scott Pruett's "Hi To My Family At Home" on-air shout outs date back that long. Also the song @2:00:30 is awesome. Does anyone know if it can be found on TH-cam?
This was peak late-ish CART...great cars, drivers, teams, crowds, and Bob Varsha and Sully , along with Jon Beekius in the pits, were a great, pure class announcing team (especially compared to the 2024 IndyCar season and the mid-season intro of the worthless unreliable hybrids which have ruined the balance of the cars and are damaging the integrity of the series, and the obnoxious, screeching clown show of the entire NBC team)

It's kinda weird seeing John Kernan pit reporting on an event other than NASCAR...
Drivers were always deputized.
