First of two IROC races on the temporary circuit at Burke Lakefront
Airport. They would return for another race in 1990.

Former NFL head coach Dick Vermeil was a pit reporter for this race for
some reason

Best known as an NFL coach, Dick Vermeil is no stranger to motorsports.
His father was a pioneer in racing, & is honored every year with the
"Louie Vermeil Classic" sprint car race at California's Calistoga Speedway.

What happened to Sneva? He dominated the race but then lost in the last
6 laps?

Sneva had a tire start going flat late in the race. Cale Yarborough sped
past as Sneva's #3 fishtailed all over the track. While I think IROC
will let you pit to change a flat Sneva toughed it out instead and fell
back.

The NASCAR guys had the weekend off for this one since they had raced
mid-week for the Pepsi 400 on the Fourth of July at Daytona. Cale
Yarborough famously lost that race to Richard Petty as the latter
claimed his 200th and final NASCAR win but he bounced back to take
advantage of Sneva's late troubles and win this one on an airport track
where he'd hadn't raced on before.

While this technically a home race for the CART racers, it was on the
undercard for their Cleveland Grand Prix, Sneva's troubles meant that
Gordon Johncock was the only one of the series' drivers to finish in the
top-5 amid an unexpectedly strong showing for the NASCAR guys on a track
where they never raced.

Ken Squier and Chris Economaki were the commentators. Ned Jarrett and
Dick Vermeil were the pit road reporters.
