Is he returning to announce the USAC races on Flo in 2024?

A Facebook friend just posted he's not because of too much traveling. A big loss to the USAC races on Flo if this is true.

No inside info but if the above is true, Chet's replacement has travelled with him all this year.

Someone who knows the infield of every USAC track very well.

PS. We'll enjoy having Drake in Australia with us this summer.

Chet is great, usually.

If Chet is not returning, USAC had better open up their pocketbooks, for once, and get a deserving talented individual, such as Chet, to take the USAC Racing Organization to the next level, as the culture is ever changing.

It is my understanding Chet is paid by Flo, not USAC. The rest of the broadcast crew are provided by USAC

So the camera guy(s), FLO video production Van, non working wireless mics, etc. are all USAC employees and equipment?

Chet to High Limit since Blake Anderson is not moving over from his All-Star announcing role?

Chet himself said he would not be returning to announce USAC races any longer. I heard this on the Hoogies Garage podcast. I’d add a link if I knew how. I personally thought he was a great announcer.
