This same piece also says that CBS carried a Talledega race rach year as well, albeit the July race, not the May date the OP is referring to. It also says that by 1991, each race week was usually on TV somewhere, be it " CBS, ABC, WTBS, ESPN or TNN" with no NBC in sight. My guess is the 85 Winston 500 at Dega, was on ESPN. All I can say for sure is that I didn't have cable back then and most likely listened to it on the radio. :-) May of 85? I was probably at sea, and didn't catch the race at all. Too far back to remember that many details, anyway. I killed off those cells long ago. Aww, c'mon Carey! lol It's only 21 years ago, and I thought the first cells to go were the short term memory ones? "What did I eat for lunch yesterday? I've no idea. But I can tell you what car, what day of the week, and what the weather was like when I took my driver's license test back in the early 1980s the day I turned 16." - Me (and a lot of other people in their late 30s if I had to guess...) |
yesterday?

Does that mean that in 20 years you'll remember what you had for lunch yesterday? |

I asked this in here a while back but maybe there are some new faces in here. Would anybody remember if and who televised the 1985 Winston/Alabama 500 at Talledga won by Bill Elliot when he comes from 2 laps down to win? I found a video on ebay of the race but it's only about 45 minutes so it cant be the full race and the info says it was from NBC? I dont ever remember NBC doing Nascar? That was a bit before my time, hopefullly some of you older ones could help me out here? Thanks in advance! |
been able to find anyone who has a flag to flag coverage. They would
have had to have a sattelite feed or something.
Thanks

I recall watching it at |
likely on ESPN.
