Today, the man who hosted the 1999 Daytona 500, Greg Gumbel passed away at age 78 from Cancer.

NASCAR's thoughts & ours are with him.

Greg Gumbel (May 3, 1946 – December 27, 2024) was an American television sportscaster. He was best known for his various assignments for CBS Sports (most notably, the National Football League and NCAA basketball). The older brother of news and sportscaster Bryant Gumbel, he became the first African-American announcer to call play-by-play of a major sports championship in the United States when he announced Super Bowl XXXV for the CBS network in 2001. Gumbel was most recently the studio host for CBS' men's college basketball coverage and was a play-by-play broadcaster for the NFL on CBS until 2023.

In 1999, he hosted the Daytona 500 on CBS, before FOX took the Daytona 500, exclusively in 2007.

So this petition update is for the host of the 1999 Daytona 500 for him.
