The race was broadcast live and flag-to-flag on ESPN. Midway through the broadcast, they also ran down results of the Bosch Spark Plug Grand Prix CART race, and the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Portugal. They also briefly cut away for an NFL Gameday report.

ESPN falsely originally listed Sterling Marlin as finishing third in the race, but he actually finished 5th, and they corrected the scoring a few minutes later.
