Really sad to read this. What an iconic race voice to all of us in the racing community. He'll be remembered forever. Godspeed.

It was always apparent that Bob loved racing as much as any of us. Proud that he was a Hoosier.

Once sat next to Bob at Paragon. A true professional, great fan, and class individual. RIP.

He had the good fortune to do a lap around the speedway in one of AJs winning roadsters (61 or 64) Teary eyed when he got out. Much respect. RIP Bob Jenkins

When in doubt Gas It
