I hope he did the same in the pit area by thanking all of the car owners and drivers for coming out as well.
I know Dean personally gets around the pits alot throughout the evening. I hear him thanking drivers and teams all the time, but its hard for him to get around to everyone. I go through the pits before every show and take pics of every car for our facebook page and call the album PitPics. While I'm in each drivers pit area, I always try to make it a point to talk to someone from the team and thank them for coming. I hope they understand it's not just lip service. Since becoming track announcer in June, I feel like I'm living a dream. I get to be a part of the greatest sport in the world, and especially so Saturday, I got to announce some of my heroes out on the raceway. It truly is an honor for me to be doing this job, and I hope that these drivers know how grateful I am for them making my job easy. By putting on a great race, all I have to do is be a fan and describe what I see. With that said, let me once again thank all of the drivers and teams for coming out each week, and the fans for listeniing to me.
