Race summaries

[edit]
  • Rounds 1 & 2: The first two races of the season were held at the 1⁄2 mile oval at Hawkeye Downs Speedway in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.[18][19] Robby Unser won both of the 100-lap races, leading a total of 197 of the 200 possible laps. Bill Scott, driving an ethanol-powered machine, finished a close second in both races. The margin of victory was 3.75 seconds for the first race, and 1.47 seconds for the second race. Unser and Scott were the only drivers to complete all 200 laps. Bill Tempero qualified for the pole position for both races, but spun in an oil slick during the first race, then later burned a piston.[20][21] Unser drove the weekend with a leg brace, after undergoing surgery for a broken leg he suffered in 1987.[22] Kenji Momota made his AIS debut, finishing third in the second race.
  • Rounds 3 & 4: The second race meet was held at the 1⁄2 mile oval at I-70 Speedway. Both Buddy Lazier (the 1988 AIS champion) and Kevin Whitesides (1989 AIS rookie of the year) returned to the series after they missed the first meet. Both were attempting to qualify (unsuccessfully) for the Indy 500.[23] In the first race, Robby Unser started on the pole position and led the first 29 laps. Buddy Lazier took the lead on lap 30, and the two drivers raced-nose-to-tail most of the way. Unser got by Lazier for the lead on lap 87, and held him off on the last by 0.3 seconds. Meanwhile, Whitesides suffered a fuel pressure problem, and was not able to race. Bill Tempero also dropped out with engine problems on lap 81. In the second race, Robby Unser again started on the pole. On lap 10, Buddy Lazier bumped wheels with Michael Leary, and crashed into the wall in turn one. Unser pulled away and was leading when the was race stopped on lap 64 due to rain. Unser was declared the winner, with Bill Scott second.[24][25]
  • Rounds 5 & 6: The Mid-South Indy 200 was held at Memphis Motorsports Park. The event was scheduled as twin 100-kilometer races on the 1.8-mile road course.[26] Bill Tempero started on the pole for the first race, and Robby Unser was the winner.[27] In the second race, Buddy Lazier started on the pole, but dropped out on lap 4 with mechanical problems. Unser won by 3.85 seconds over Tempero, making it six consecutive victories to start the season.[28]
  • Rounds 7 & 8: The fourth race meet was held on the 3⁄8 mile oval at Colorado National Speedway. Twin 100-lap races were held on Tuesday July 4. Due to oppressive heat, and 165° track temperature, the races were delayed for two hours. Bill Tempero won the pole for the first race. Robby Unser took the checkered flag, his seventh consecutive victory to start the season. Unser won by 2 seconds over Tempero, and Buddy Lazier finished third.[29] In the second race, Buddy Lazier finally snapped Unser's win streak. Lazier took the checkered flag for his first win of the season. Unser finished a close second, with polesitter Tempero third.[30] After eight races, the halfway point of the season, Robby Unser (196) led the points standings, with Bill Scott (127) ranked second.[31]
  • Rounds 9 & 10: The AIS traveled to Canada for the second time, holding twin 125-lap races at Race City. On Friday, Bob Tankersley won the second annual pit stop contest at Stephen Avenue mall. Kenji Momota withdrew due to a family illness, and he was replaced by Buzz Tapley.[32] The first race was scheduled for Saturday August 19, but due to heavy rain, it was postponed to Sunday afternoon. Robby Unser won the pole with a track record of 14.9 seconds, and led from start to finish. Buddy Lazier finished second, but not without incident. Bill Tempero broke an oil pump in his primary car on lap 22. He parked his car in the pits, then he took over the team's back-up car (started by Arlon Koops). As Tempro was exiting the pits, he nearly tangled with Lazier, sending Lazier's car into a spin. Lazier was able to recover, and worked his way back up to second place by lap 89. Bill Scott came home third. In the second race, Greg Gorden won the pole with a new track record of 14.77 seconds. Gorden led until lap 56, when Robby Unser took over the lead. On lap 98, however, Unser suffered a broken rear end. Gorden veered to avoid contact, but spun and seized the engine. Both the first place and second place cars were out, putting Buddy Lazier into the lead. Lazier cruised to the finish, nursing a damaged gearbox. Bill Tempero finished second, driving the team's back-up car once again.[33][34] After ten rounds, Robby Unser held a commanding points lead (254 points) over Bill Scott (137) and Buddy Lazier (143). Richard Griffin (133) was the leading rookie, and Bill Tempero (128) rounded out the top five.[35]
  • Rounds 13 & 14: After being rained out in August, the race meet at Shangri-La was rescheduled for the last weekend of September. On a cold, damp night, with temperatures in the 40s, Robby Unser won the first race in dominating fashion, his 11th victory of the season.[39] Richard Griffin finished second. During the second race, Unser dropped out on lap 87 with a failed right-front wheel bearing, his first DNF of the season. Griffin won the second race, his first AIS victory.[40] Johnny Unser made his AIS debut,[41] with a pair of 6th place finishes, driving as a teammate to his cousin Robby. Despite dropping out of the second race, Robby Unser left the weekend with enough points to mathematically clinch the 1989 AIS championship.[42]
  • Rounds 15 & 16: The season finale was held at Willow Springs.[43] Bill Tempero won the pole for both races. Buddy Lazier won the first race, with Robby Unser finishing second. In the second race, Lazier dropped out with a broken motor mount. Robby Unser won the second race, his 12th victory of the season, and 13th career AIS victory overall.

XXXVII

[edit]

NFL owners originally voted to award Super Bowl XXXVII to San Francisco during their October 15, 1997 meeting in Washington, D.C.[44] The 49ers had recently announced plans for a new stadium, and were awarded the Super Bowl contingent upon its completion. This was the second time the city had been awarded the Super Bowl on a conditional basis. In 1994, Super Bowl XXXIII was awarded to Candlestick Park, based on a comprehensive stadium renovation plan.[45][46] However, when funding for those renovation plans fell through, the hosting duties were withdrawn. This time around, the San Francisco hosting committee had planned to pursue XXXVI, but due to logistical complications, switched their proposal to XXXVII. The owners awarded the game to San Francisco, and no other cities were considered. They skipped the awarding of XXXVI, and scheduled the bidding for that game for the spring of 1998.[47]

The plans for the new stadium and mall at Candlestick Point never materialized. Rumors quickly began to spread that the league would pull the game from San Francisco if no progress was made on stadium funding/construction.[48][49] The Raiders once again stepped in, offering to move the game over to Oakland.[50] Oakland mayor Jerry Brown stepped in to support the effort, but it was rejected by league officials.[51][52]. On March 17, 1999, the league passed a resolution officially withdrawing the game from San Francisco.[53]

The NFL immediately reopened the bidding for the game. San Diego (Qualcomm Stadium), which had lost out on XXXVI,[54] announced its interest. Miami (Pro Player Stadium) was the only other city in consideration after Oakland dropped their plans once and for all.[55] San Diego went in as an early favorite. They had just received "rave reviews" for XXXII, and there was a desire to keep the game on the west coast.[48][49] San Diego was awarded the game during the May 26, 1999, owners meeting at Atlanta,[56] needing only one round of balloting.[57][58] It was the last Super Bowl played in California until Super Bowl 50 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. It was also the final Super Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium before the Chargers relocated to Los Angeles in 2017.


Host selection process xxxvi

[edit]

NFL owners voted to award Super Bowl XXXVI to New Orleans during their October 28, 1998 meeting in Kansas City, Missouri. Two cities made presentations, the other being San Diego (Qualcomm Stadium).[59] With only two choices, the league set up a two-round voting system. A city would win if they received 3⁄4 of the vote during the first round. If neither city won during the first round, the second round would revert to a simple majority. New Orleans won on the second ballot on what was described as "close vote".[60] This was the ninth time that New Orleans hosted the game, and fifth time it would be played in the Superdome.

After the vote, NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue made an unexpected and largely unprecedented announcement that San Diego was the favorite to host the next available Super Bowl.[61][61] With San Francisco tentatively scheduled to host XXXVII, San Diego was thought likely to host XXXVIII in 2004. However, the league took XXXVII away from San Francisco after plans for a new stadium fell through.[53] and the 2003 game ultimately went to San Diego.[56]



However, the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks led the league to postpone its September 16 games and play them a week after the scheduled conclusion of the regular season. This caused the playoffs and Super Bowl to be delayed by one week. Rescheduling Super Bowl XXXVI from January 27 to February 3 proved extraordinarily difficult. In addition to rescheduling the game itself, all related events and activities had to be accommodated. This marked the first time in NFL history that the Super Bowl was played in February; all subsequent Super Bowls (excluding XXXVII in 2003) have been played in February. In turn, this and the games from XXXVIII (2004) to LV (2021) were to now be played on the first Sunday in February. The NFL expanded its season from 16 to 17 regular season games, and LVI (2022) became the first to be played on the second Sunday of the month.
