Richie's Hidden Gems Vol. 2
Richie Murray's second entry of USAC hidden video gems that may surprise and amaze you!
We’ve dug out some more good stuff from the archives – some newer, some older, some seldom-seen and some never-seen. It’s the rare footage that doesn’t quite fit into any category, the gems of USAC video that we go back to time and time again because we simply can’t get enough. Here’s a few samplings.
1994 Steve Barth Flip Announced in Chinese
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to hear a USAC race called by a Chinese broadcaster? Well, here’s your chance as Steve Barth bangs a gong, and the billboards, at Indianapolis Raceway Park in 1994.
1990 Jeff Gordon Blooper Reel
Jeff Gordon didn’t exactly seem destined for an announcing career at this point in 1990 on his way to racing superstardom. Back then, he already had the racing thing down, but let’s just say he’s come a long way in front of the camera.
1994 Jim Naylor Live from the Grader
Ventura Raceway promoter/track preparer/announcer extraordinaire Jim Naylor ain’t got time to stop for an interview. He’s a multi-tasker to the extreme. In this one, he’s on the grader prepping the track surface for the night’s USAC Western States Midget race and, simultaneously, sits down for an interview with ESPN.
2002 John Heydenreich Explains the three USAC National Series

Ever wonder the best way to get the word on how to reach sponsors? Not too different than it is now through the magic of video. Here, defending USAC National Sprint Car champion Robbie Stanley’s video, narrated by Gary Lee, explains the value in sponsoring Robbie and his team on the USAC trail and on ESPN’s Saturday Night Thunder.
