Did you know...

...An accident in 1935 captured the public's interest, and boosted the All American event's profile. A car went off the track and struck NBC's top commentator and sportscaster Graham MacNamee while he was broadcasting live on the air. Despite a concussion and other injuries (which would necessitate a two-week hospital stay), MacNamee described the collision to his listeners and finished his broadcast.
