    I love the fact that WorldSport used what would go on to be WCW's Thunder theme in the intro.

    TNN invented the idea of a top-screen NASCAR scoring banner (as opposed to a box), not Fox, who usually gets credit for it. This is especially true given that Fox now uses a box. NBC has always used the banner in the TNN form, with the drivers appearing page-by-page instead of scrolling right-to-left.

      Yes they did and that Gopher Cam is really called the tread cam, and it was designed by the U.S. military, but FOX takes credit for that too.

      Eh.. Buddy Baker was better with Ned Jarrett. Dick Bergeron wasn't bad, but he was better not in the booth. Eli Gold was better on radio. Nothing will ever beat the dream team of Jenkins/Parsons/Jarrett, but then again, we were all spoiled by them lol.

    TNN MOrotsports was the shiznit back in the day. I used to love their coverage of NASCAR. Not like today where SPEED exclusively covers the trucks which you cant get on normal cable without a sports package subscription. ESPN, ABC TNT and Fox covering various parts fo the season and personally I am not a huge fan of their coverage.
