Two years later he moved in front of the camera as an on-air talent in Charleston, S.C. In 1985, Byrnes took a position as producer and co-host of Inside Winston Cup Racing on TNN. In 1999, Byrnes' challenge was a one-hour human interest and documentary program airing on TNN called Darrell Waltrip's Racers. In 2000, Byrnes accepted the role of color analyst and coordinating producer for the 20-race ASA AC-Delco Stock-Car Series on TNN and served as color analyst with the Summer Legends Shoot-Out Series on FSN. To further complement a busy year, Byrnes was chosen to host a two-hour documentary on The History Channel entitled The History of Stock Car Racing.
