The βVoiceβ of the Knoxville Raceway, Announcing Team at WWTRaceway, Chili Bowl Announcer. Lover of all things Drag Racing. Opinions are my own.
Joined May 2010
Iβve announced in 21 states, 3 countries, 81 tracks for 36 series and 14 networks, but today my most proud moment happened. I am very overwhelmed & a little emotional today and donβt know where to start, so I will just say THANK YOU to you all!!

Watching @dirtvision and 1 thing is so clear to me, IMO, @BlakeAnderson is currently the best pit reporter in all of dirt track racing. If a major network doesnt pick him up and get him on tv, it will be a loss for those fans that havent got to listen to him work. #proud #solid.

I don't care how many trophies he has. what a stupid comment! I'd say 5 lead changes and cars advancing 10 spots is above average action and I'd take that every night. The Dunkins prepared a superior track and the finish of the race are proof of that.
UDPB: Jonathan Davenport (@TheFast49) talks us through his wreck tonight at Knoxville, which will see him go to a backup car for Friday night.

Pretty proud of my little collection. Over the years I have been collecting a mic flag from each network that I have been on-air talent for. I am pretty proud of these experiences. Im only missing two, Racinboys and Must See Racing & Scott Traylor is taking care of the Racinboys

My heart hurts for Sherry and the entire @GregHodnett family. Greg was full of class and professionalism, and the ultimate competitor, I'll miss him. Tomorrow, pick up the phone and call someone, who isn't expecting it and tell them they matter to you! Life is short friends.

There is no question how much integrity Daryn has and how bad his heart is hurting right now. Pray for he and Mandy and the girls and keep praying for Bobbi and Jaxx. You are a great racer but an even better person Daryn, and iβll be keeping all of you in my prayers.

Great News!! Many tracks in IA and MO opening in May without spectators. If your local track offers a PPV, support them by purchasing a subscription. Every little bit helps! One step closer!!!!.

.@SpeakerPelosi @TeamPelosi U should B ashamed of how U portrayed your self and your party. Your actions R the exact problem our country is facing. For a 79 year old woman, U demonstrated childish,immature,pompous&classless acts. The @TheDemocrats should ask U to stepdown. #MAGA.

It was great to have Zach Roloff and Jackson at the @HighLimitRacing race last night. I have deep respect and admiration for the trail Zach has created for his family. They live life knocking down the boundaries that are told to us. I believe in living the same way!!! π€π»

.@nbcsnl should fire all of their writers and "comedians". You wasted your entire show bashing the @POTUS . I long for the days when SNL was actually funny. It's a shame you waste what used to be a great show, to now push your garbage message. #VoteTrump2020ToSaveAmerica #MAGA.
