goguard07 ::: Favorites does anyone know the name of the song used for the opening theme to the 1979 Daytona 500 on CBS, briefly played at the 1:08 point of this clip? thanks 07-08-07 09:34:26 _____________________________________________________

higgy04 ::: Favorites I knew Ken Squier did the Play-by-Play of the race as well as other car races on CBS, but I was referring to the announcer who says 'LIVE from Daytona Beach, Florida.' That announcer, does anyone know who that announcer was if he had a name. I still find it strange to hear David Hobbs on color for a stock car race and now you hear him on SPEED calling Formula 1 races. Thank you. 07-04-10 01:24:54 _____________________________________________________
dalejrgamer ::: Favorites Ken Squier. He was PBP announcer until 1998, when another great PBP announcer Mike Joy took over. Squier called the infamous fistfight. Joy called Earnhardt's only Daytona 500 win. Good memories... 07-04-07 14:32:50 _____________________________________________________
higgy04 ::: Favorites At the 1:07 mark of the clip showing the introduction, who was the CBS Sports staff announcer back then? He had one of the best voices and I can't remember what his name was. In those days you used to hear him introduce the Daytona 500, NCAA March Madness, NBA Basketball, heck even the ever popular Sports Spectacular with the Emerson, Lake and Palmer theme. 07-04-02 22:28:27 _____________________________________________________
