Sportsman on ESPN today

Rich Biebel · 09-08-2008, 07:37 PM

Indy was broadcast LIVE a number of years ago on Monday. It was around the late 90's or maybe a little later. Sheldon Gecker won S/G , Scotty Richardson won Stock and Peter Biondo won SS, If I rememeber right..... They did a great job and showed all the classes. I remember watching it for a good part of the afternoon and the finals were all shown as they were run. Ratings must have been poor and live coverage never really materialized. Too long and too many opportunities for down time that would leave them with nothing to do but talk......

is there ANY video of eliminations or class eliminations out there.
I beleive this to be a money maker, especially for class as it is heads up and no explanations needed to the uninformed fans of these stock body cars. remember wheelies sell videos as do heads up to match.. it truely is an easy concept.
