i literally thought the same thing, because i swore that '98 had the newer theme (the '98-'00 theme) but was confused when i heard the old theme at the start of this race, so i had to go find a video of the '98 500 the next day to see, and yep. this was the last day they used the old theme. Wonder why they used a seperate one for the BGN race. I dont think they used if for any other BGN races that year either. Interesting. Also, Glad im not the only nerd out there to realize things like this haha
@2:11:51 If yer looking for a good hit, you could always depend on Hackshot Jones to smack everything in the entire universe with his car. Ground zero for Jr's secret battle with concussions, hampering his later career. And a pretty thorough disgrace to Sam Ard's number to boot.
I always loved watching these Busch races before the 500, it just made you hungry for the big race.
2:44 Good eye, Mike.
They also showed Terry Labonte's picture instead of Mikel McLaughlin.
The last race with the 95-97 NASCAR on CBS theme.

@@2jsalomon They likely figured the Daytona 500 would be the perfect time to debut the new theme.
sweet upload dude
2:02:23 Buddy Baker almost got the NASCAR on CBS theme perfectly!
Joe Nemechek utterly dominated this race, leading all but 15 laps, 105 in all, including the final 34.
Joe Nemechek has dedicated to John
