Danny Sullivan, who stepped away from IndyCar racing for 1994 to try NASCAR, started his broadcasting career at Indianapolis. Pit reporters included Jack Arute, Gary Gerould, and Dr. Jerry Punch. Dr. Punch was on assignment for the Indy 500 only, as NASCAR Winston Cup on ESPN was his primary duty.

Pit reporters were Jack Arute and Gary Gerould from ABC joined by 1988 Indy Lights champion Jon Beekhuis.

Famous quotes containing the word races:
“This Administration has declared unconditional war on poverty and I have come here this morning to ask all of you to enlist as volunteers. Members of all parties are welcome to our tent. Members of all races ought to be there. Members of all religions should come and help us now to strike the hammer of truth against the anvil of public opinion again and again until the ears of this Nation are open, until the hearts of this Nation are touched, and until the conscience of America is awakened.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (19081973)
“For the most part we stupidly confound one man with another. The dull distinguish only races or nations, or at most classes, but the wise man, individuals.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)

The characteristics and pursuits of various ages and races of men are always existing in epitome in every neighborhood. The pleasures of my earliest youth have become the inheritance of other men. This man is still a fisher, and belongs to an era in which I myself have lived.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
