Who is your favorite announcer?

[Mudweiser]

No particular order: Buddy Long, Ben Shelton, Doug Watson, Frank Sagi...

[Josh Bayko]

Rick Eshelman and Shane Andrews. I really dug Dow Carnahan, too. Lernerville will never be the same without him.

[slide-skill]

Essex / Ozzy

[cutman]

Eshelman and Shelton would be my team

[CIRF]

Any who don't yell and scream.

[edavis71]

Hands down -James Essex

Without a doubt in my book. Chris Stepan is real good also!!!

[riddle28]

no longer with us but Perry Holman from Talladega was my favorite, especially nascar weekends. +1 for Ben Shelton and Ross Tingle from the mag as well

[weatherman85]

Any that stay quiet during the action. I prefer the roar of the engines over anybody's voice.

Chuck Greenslate! very easy on the ears. Of course i hear him 6 days a week with his radio job maybe I'm biased. I love a good Essex impression though

[smith19]

bob that would be ray chaike your talking about. yes he was one of the best flagman around. asistant at the indy 500 as well. used to live right down the street from me. I think chris was barry's brother...

[Slideways]

I've always liked Ozzy Altman's style, but that's not taking anything away from Ben Shelton or James Essex.

[jlacey]

No particular order: Buddy Long, Ben Shelton, Doug Watson, Frank Sagi...

I wont play favorites since 1 you mentioned is a close relative of mine but thats a good group. Id add Brett Emrick myself

[racingfool32]

James Essex, Ben Shelton hands down. As for the rest haven't heard them yet.

Back in the late 70's early 80's in bb mods was jim king. He would get u pumped up. Good interviewer also. He announced at fonda and utica rome speedways.

Jim is back at Fonda with Cowboy Paul Szmal. I grew up listening to Jim at Fonda, and he will always be my measuring stick as far as what is a good announcer.

I really do like (in no particular order) Essex, Shelton, Ozzy, Shane Andrews, Bruce Ellis (Williams Grove), Bret Emerick, Dustin Jarrett.

The new WoO guy is terrible...more yelling than announcing IMO.

Essex on a National level

Michael Despain on a local/regional level

[dirt crow]

The ones who rarely talk, doesn't scream, announces professionally, doesn't do a continuous comedy act, and don't blare music every time they take a break.

Brad Greer Florence Speedway.

Steve Nelson Canton, Ill.

Not a national announcer, I kind of like listening to Steve Vail the announcer from county line raceway.

Like the southern twang.
