From That’s Racin’: Venerable NASCAR announcer Ned Jarrett said Tuesday that he expects 2000 to be his last full-time season on the air. Citing a nagging back injury and the desire to spend more time with his family, Jarrett said he would like to curb his announcing schedule to a fill-in role after 2000. Jarrett, 65, said he’s close to signing a two-year extension with CBS that would take him through 2000. See the rest of the story at: Jarrett says 2000 will be last season on air.
