My pet peeve when watching these broadcasts are hearing from announcers who can not pronounce names or don't know who is in what car or the worst, blaring music. This guy obviously did his homework and worked his tail off all night to keep the audience well informed and entertained. And it was only practice night !!
Thanks !!

Tim, as a former announcer, I feel that it is a position often overlooked by many tracks, and filled by the ones who were too slow to get away. A bad announcer can make a good show mediocre and a bad show completely unbearable. It just takes a bit of homework and leg work. That is the situation down here in Texas. This is really great to hear.
