Ken Squier was in an appropriate setting for him (and I agree some day he will be in there too.) You know, I didn't notice the lack of name 'subtitles' because I knew who they were, but Rich is right, that was a big oversight. Maybe they didn't want to confuse people since they were flashing up the nominees names?<br /><br />Btw, there were other specials when NASCAR had its anniversary in 1998; if I remember right ESPN(?) had a 5 hour special tracing NASCAR's history. I remember Tim Flock telling the story about hitting the seagull & it was hysterical; I think that was where I saw it. I'm guessing it's available on DVD as well. The IMAX theatre special was good as well. It was much better programming than the Hollywood special, one of the most ridiculous things ever filmed (anyone remember 'We Are Family'?) But if you're looking for more history, there is some out there. Also there was a new one last year I think on SPEED. The History channel even had a show on Moonshiners that featured Junior Johnson and the ties to racing.

I hope that it is repeated. Knowing Speed, I expect it will. <br /><br />► One niggling thing that I didn't like was that many of the people doing a brief commentary piece were not identified. I recognized most of them, but would liked to have known who some of the others were. Not a big deal, but for me it did take away from the overall presentation a little bit. <br /><br />► Karen: I too was surprised by JD's statement about Weber. Hope he follows up with more information. <br /><br />► Gymmie: There was a set of 4 tapes produced called Stock Car Legends Reunion. I believe it was done for the NASCAR 50 year anniversary back in 1988. I think it was later put on a DVD, but don't know for sure. It has been used by Speed as rain filler. They also have run it as a regular feature before. I expect someone on this blog can tell you how to get it. <br /><br />► Going forward, I hope that the NASCAR Media Group will be producing some more detailed video pieces on the 25 nominees' histories. I particularly would like to see pieces done on those other than the "usual suspects", (France family, Earnhardt, Petty, etc.) for which a lot of video already exists. <br /><br />That's it for now for Rockin Rich On The Radio!Rockin Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401306989231204937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-5755764422809870832009-07-03T04:14:36.055-04:002009-07-03T04:14:36.055-04:00I agree!
