As you have already found out, yes, Ned Jarrett was a broadcaster - a great one that a lot of people really liked.
He was also a 2 time Nascar Champion.
A Nascar classic is "The Dale and Dale Show", the 1993 Daytona 500. Ned Jarrett was in the booth calling the race, Dale Jarrett was driving. DJ was battling Big E for the lead at the end. DJ won.
"Cool" can't describe that - Dad calling the race, his emotions very much obvious, and the son wins. "The Dale and Dale Show" - Dale Jarrett and Dale Earnhardt.
It don't get no better.........
And DJ will be moving to the booth shortly. Actually he has been doing some booth work on and off for a couple years now. And he is not bad at it.
I'm not sure but I think I see a trend...:)
.....not that I'm a DJ fan or anything..........
affirm.
