USAC on WBC (Johnsonverse)

USAC on WBC is the name given for WBC's coverage of USAC races. It has broadcast races since 1979, including the Indianapolis 500. 
== History ==
=== Music ===
The theme song, "Indy Style", was composed by Cal Johnson and performed by the Johnson Philharmonic Orchestra. It has been in use since 1979, with a reorchestrated version debuting in 1999; the 1979-1998 version was lead guitar and percussion-heavy, with a slower, rock feel, while the 1999-present version is a faster-tempo, brass-heavy symphonic arrangement meant to make the telecasts feel like big events. The original version was also used on WBC's NASCAR coverage from 1979 to 1987.
Indianapolis 500 broadcasts use the theme from the 1986 film The Delta Force, composed by Alan Silvestri, for the openings.
