Winter Heat Series

The program aired during the winter months between November and January (during NASCAR's offseason).

Broadcasters for TNN were Mike Joy, Buddy Baker, Glenn Jarrett and Ralph Sheheen.

ESPN's broadcasts included Benny Parsons, Bob Jenkins, and Bill Weber.

During the 1998 broadcast, Larry Rice, Rick DeBruhl and Ray Dunlap served as fill-ins for Parsons and Weber.

In later years when ESPN covered the events, there generally were three late model races (called the Winston Triple Crown), and a race or two from the NASCAR Featherlite Southwest Tour and Winston West Series.
