1960 Daytona 500

- ABC
's
Wide World of Sports
, the sports anthology program, provided coverage of select NASCAR
Winston Cup
races in the 1970s. In 1971, it presented a 200-lap race at
Greenville-Pickens Speedway
in its entirety, the first such broadcast of a NASCAR race. Throughout the 1970s, ABC presented portions of the
Daytona 500
,
Southern 500
, and other important races.
- In the late 1970s,
CBS Sports Spectacular
aired some races; like
Wide World of Sports
, they were taped and edited.
- Car and Track
, a weekly auto racing show hosted by
Bud Lindemann
, recapped all of NASCAR's top-series races in the 1960s and 1970s in a weekly 30-minute syndicated show.

In February 1960, CBS sent a "skeleton" production crew to
Daytona Beach, Florida
and the
Daytona International Speedway
to cover the
Daytona 500
's Twin 100 (now the
Bluegreen Vacations Duel
)
qualifying races
on February 12, 1960.
[3]
The production crew also stayed to broadcast portions of the Daytona 500 itself, two days later. The event was hosted by
John S. Palmer
. CBS would continue to broadcast portions of races for the next 18 years, along with
ABC
and
NBC
.
[4]
From 1962 to 1978, the Daytona 500 was shown on
ABC
's
Wide World of Sports
.

During the 1960s and early 1970s, the race was filmed and an edited highlight package aired the following weekend. In
1974
,
ABC
began the first semi-live coverage (joined-in-progress) of the Daytona 500. Coverage was normally timed to begin when the race was halfway over. Brief taped highlights of the start and early segments were shown, then ABC joined the race live already in progress, picking up approximately the last 90 minutes of the race. This format continued through
1978
.
