Kinda hate seeing this happen. Tilley is a nice guy and a good announcer, but his track record of keeping a series going after he heads them up has been fairly poor. Hope the best for SAS, which has been a solid series, but having Tilley at the helm may have been a doom sentence. Nothing personal, just my opinion as a fan of dirt racing, and want what's best for the sport.
