The ageless wonder of west coast stock cars, Hershel McGriff, was in this field, at 63 years of age. Just checked on his status: still alive in the year 2020 at the age of 92.
I've always loved the way Bob Jenkins presented a race. His voice inflections and annunciations are all on point. Ned and Benny make the whole package. What they had worked the best, nowadays its all flash fed to you and it's overbearing. Now 99% of the time i listen to the radio braodcast with the tv turned down all the way.
I agree about Bob Jenkins. He, Eli Gold and announcers in general in 1980s and 1990s were different to nowadays. The thing that I really like about the way they used to do it is the kind of dignity involved. The style was very formal, polite and 'correct'. As opposed to your opinion, I'm not saying there is something seriously wrong with Mike Joy or Rick Allen, but their performance lacks the feeling that listening to Jenkins gives you, the sense that you're watching something special and memorable.
@@theflagstand I blame the producers. Mike Joy was definitely a platinum play-by-play man before broadcasts generally became more PC in the Brian France era. Mike, Larry, and DW were TV gold from 2001-2006 (Allen, BP, and Wally right up there with them) because they were allowed to be themselves. They would even question or criticise NASCAR decisions. Notice that stopped happening in the later 2000s? I think Bri-guy censored them; seeing this petty lawsuit against the "Drunken Brian France" Twitter parody account proves he's thin-skinned. That and the increased emphasis on the chase/playoff drivers and stage race gimmickery has taken away from them broadcasters practicing the "KISS" method (keep it simple, stupid), just describing what's happening in the race and keeping us tuned in. That's the way it was during the ratings boom.
@@NotSteveCook Those are interesting views, I honestly didn't think that far. But I have to say that although the broadcasting teams after the TV deal reform in 2001 were still brilliant as you pointed out, I think their styles also differ from what we had in the 90s or so. The formal style and the 'politeness' were already gone. But it wasn't worse, just different
Final win for Blue Max Racing. The team folded after Rusty left the team at the end of the season & their equipment was bought by Roger Penske who rehired Rusty
A few more laps and Mark Martin would likely have suffered the same fate as Morgan Shepherd. Smoke was becoming more and more noticeable from his exhaust. Sure wish Mark had won a championship at some point.
1:09:40 = It suck's that Morgan Shepard and Bud Moore Engineering could not keep the consistency up in 1990.. Just think if they had kept up the consistency considering that he won the last race of the year in Atlanta!!
16:33 - 16:53 = Tire Wall Tire: I am Fee!! now to roll my way out of here!! Just have to make it across the track to freedom.. Cup Car: Sit down!! Tire Wall Tire: Yes Sir!! I was not planning on it...
No reflection on Kodak. No one knew what Cosby would eventually do. Kodak cared about people just fine. Once upon a time they were a wonderful company to work for and took very good care of their employees. Not sure where they are now or if they even still exist.
