I always liked when Terry Baltes called Ricky Hood The Hound dog.

Duke Cook legend in his own mind.

They’re all great. But does anyone get tired of nicknames overused in a race call? I’m not sure who calls the races out west. In my opinion he’s very good, one of the best. But I swear sometimes I think if I hear “big game hunter” one more time I’m turning off the volume

And his brother, “Cadillac” Cody.

I'll toot Tj Slideway's horn here, for he had some good names for some of the local Michigan/SOD drivers:

The Hooooooosier Rocket - Brett Mann
Crikey...Steve Irwin
"Captain Kirk" Chaney
Double D - Dustin Daggett (I know.... Dave Darland)
The Mack Daddy - Ken Mackey
Flyin' Ryan Grubaugh (I know..... anyone named Ryan)

But I had to give T.J. his accolades!

How about some late model shoes? There are some REAL good ones. It is all in the broadcasting:

The Kentucky Colonel - Steve Francis
E.P.J. - Earl Pearson, Jr.
The Bluegrass Bandit - Darrell Lanigan
The Newport Nightmare - Jimmy Owens
The High Side Hustler - Jason Feger
The High Side Tickler - Kyle Strickler
The Real Deal - Don O'Neal
Mr. Smooth - Billy Moyer
Kid Smooth - Billy Moyer, Jr. (It goes w/o saying - note above) :)
Chubzilla - Chubb Frank

And my favorite of all.....

"Killer" Kyle Bronson

Devin Moran. The Mail Man

‘The Magician’ Jeff Mitrisin

‘Rock and Roll’ Billy Alley

‘The Edge’ Brian Montieth

Never really understood where ‘the edge’ nickname came from. Also never understood where ‘rock and roll’ came from but who am I to question ‘rock and roll’ Billy Alley?

Jake "THE WHEELMAN" Swanson

Question on nicknames. Who’s the original Modern Day Cowboy. My favorite and deserving was Darren Clayton. But Indiana Late Model racer, John Gill also had that moniker. I’ve heard that also applies to some one racing out west if not mistaken. Clarification appreciated
