Ken Squier could commentate anything and I would’ve loved to see him do some of the high-speed fast sports of the Olympic games in 98. Maybe then the Nagano 1998 Olympics would not have been such a disaster for the network where CBS would no longer have them, and NBC essentially have them forever it seems.
What a special day that was after so many close Calls that the all time winningest driver at Daytona finally won the big one....Never would you have thought just 3 years later that place would take his life! So Damned Missed is Dale Sr.
For intro and outro themes for the Daytona 500 I still prefer the ones from the 80s. Specifically the 1980 500. Also my 2nd favorite would have to be the 1987 intro the the 500. (Final Countdown).
I think that's awesome Dale earnhardt won the 1998 Daytona 500 that was a great win for him and I think that's terrible Dale earnhart died three years later in 2001
Thank you for creating such an awesome theme guys! This is the theme that should still be used today! But then again, this theme brings back the good old days of NASCAR, so its best to keep it how it is :]
had to play my 5th grade basketball championship game that day and made my mom record it. on the way home the radio station gave away the spoiler and I got buttblasted beyond belief and I didn't even root for earnhardt as a kid. still went home and watched the whole thing
No, the CBS one is the king of them all. the Lets Go Racin' one that Fox used is a good one in general, but if i had to pick the single best one, the CBS one all the way.
the message didn't show up for a day, so I figured it didn't get posted so I posted it again. Then it decided to show both messages. That's just what the website does
Boo. Sorry, but I honesty was VERY disappointed when I heard this craptacular theme music begin the 98 Daytona 500 broadcast. 95-97 Version was much catchier/deeper. I still love Ken Squier though.
Does anybody know where I can get schedules for Cup, NNS/NBS, and NCTS from 1998-now that have the TV and radio broadcasters on them? I'm doing some research on NASCAR and it's current and former TV broadcasters.
Hope you can do it soon! LOL. I dunno why, but that song is VERY addictive! LOL. Are you working on any of the other "classic" NASCAR themes (ABC's Wide World of Sports, NASCAR on TBS, NASCAR on FOX, NASCAR on NBC/TNT edit of "Fuel", ESPN Speedworld, NASCAR on TNT's "Born To Be Wild" cover by Hinder, and the old TNN Motorsports theme"? LOL. The ONLY one I've been able to find a download of is the NASCAR on FOX theme.
1:26 I'm Ken Squier saying so long from Daytona where Dale Earnhardt has long last won the Daytona 500.
I'm glad they debuted this theme for the race that Dale won after trying for so long
I'm glad they did as well Red Card
Seems like it's just the same 28-second loop each time, but I will agree it's a catchy one!
That's true Brock Beard

The greatest day in the history of this great sport.
This theme was awesome!
Yes it was braves15
R.I.P. Dale Earnhardt aka the Intiminator 1951-2001
I was so happy Earnhardt won that race!!
Me to Chris Smith
EARNHARDT FOREVER!!!!!!!

The theme used from 1979-81 was "Children of Sanchez" by Chuck Mangione:

I'm working on assembling an mp3 of the theme from the clips I have that aren't talked over...when that happens I will post the link here.
As yes.
1998.
What a great year for Nascar.
5-wide Daytona races, and who can forget.
The Big One of Talledega!
I thought 1998 was a great year for NASCAR to

Hard to believe it’s been almost 25 years

C-B-S COULD GO ALL THE WAY!!!!
I like listening to this theme.
So do I
had to play my 5th grade basketball championship game that day and made my mom record it. on the way home the radio station gave away the spoiler and I got buttblasted beyond belief and I didn't even root for earnhardt as a kid. still went home and watched the whole thing
Such an awesome song!
Dale Earnhardt won that Daytona 500.
Yes he did
I love this theme. The original CBS theme for the Daytona 500 didn't fit the sport of racing, and was sentimental like their Masters music.
I love this theme as well fiveandtwoball
Already 10 years ago Dale Earnhardt won the Daytona 500...seems like only yesterday.
Now it's been 25 years. Crazy.
I really wish I could find the starting lineup music they used...
i have too XD
No, the CBS one is the king of them all. the Lets Go Racin' one that Fox used is a good one in general, but if i had to pick the single best one, the CBS one all the way.
the best day in nascar ever i was sitting with alot of anti earnhardt people that day even they were happy in the end.
That's cool
flashback! saw the best of the best crew chief's their was ray e. talking to larry mac.
That's great
I found the theme in a downloadable version! I've sent it out to some, anyone else who wants it; message me.
you still have it?
the message didn't show up for a day, so I figured it didn't get posted so I posted it again. Then it decided to show both messages. That's just what the website does
@MrLogoman007 I'm thinking it was because of the established history CBS had with airing the Daytona 500.
Me to
if you could get the ESPN Speedworld 1992 one and the previous theme that CBS used before they started to use ths one, that would be cool!
I'd like to have this song too, if it's possible. Thanks. :)
Me to JTH
nobdy will ever be better thaan CBS
I agree
the best nascar theme was the espn speedworld one from the early 90s
I agree baheat86
nobdy will ever be better than CBS
That's true
I found the song in downloadable version, I gave the link to some. Anyone else who wants it, message me.
Do you still have the theme?
CBS did the Winter Olympics for quite a few years, I believe.
braves15 1992, 1994 and 1998 before NBC took over
@jamespic its better then what it was.
Won't happen until 2015 at least, and if they hold onto the NFL, they'd have to pick off Fox for coverage.
FOX renewed its NASCAR coverage until 2024.
the nascar on fox theme sucks that toby lightman bullshit sucks....i like the old nascar on fox theme
I agree the NASCAR on fox theme sucked and it was horrible
