The broadcast was attractive and the commentator team included Dale Arnhard Junior.Looked at the edge of their seats. And the leading promotion for the program was also impressive, including the production of a highly acclaimed documentary on the Great del Arnhard late, late,. The only negative is that Prime did not run more than five in this summer!
