ABCs 1987 Indianapolis 500 broadcast crew of Jim McKay, Jim Lampley, Sam Posey and Bobby Unser provide a complete assessment of the drivers, crews, owners and events leading up to the race in this pre-race show as seen in this video herewith…..which includes interviews of key drivers like Mario Andretti, Danny Sullivan, A. J. Foyt, Rich Mears, Bobby Rahal and others…..as well as providing opinions and analysis of each of the keys elements at play in the upcoming race.
ABC Sports honed its skills at coverage of auto racing in the 26 years of Wide World of Sports covering auto racing events around the world…..which included stock car racing, midget car racing, open-wheel racing, formula 1 racing and of course Indy-car racing….so by the time they got to a major event like this 1987 Indy 500….their crews were well-honed at what it took to provide a tremendous view of the race….as their camera crews, their production crews, their direction crews and their broadcast crews…..were nothing short of fantastic….as evidenced by this video seen herewith.
