    I rarely hear the announcer unless I'm not at the race and have to watch it online .........
    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

      Exactly BBQ, if you are at the race you can't hear it anyway during green laps.

It's not just using His name as a curse, it's also using His name in any way that doesn't give Him respect and honor. Using it in a cheap throw away style also like has been done by the announcer is offensive and sinful. Just because it has become a common and flippant saying doesn't mean it became ok. I like the guy's passion, he is a breath of fresh air.

          Well I guess we are just going to disagree with that then and if you choose not to go to any SAS races thats your lost not theirs. There will be plenty of people to take your place. I dont see how that is not giving him respect or honor, thats just my opinion and hey we all know what those are like.

Been a family friend since I was born, and is a great announcer who isn't over the top. Not comparing him to Ozzie or Rick, but he's good.
            Do you ever say anything remotely positive? You've got to be a women, should take another Midol.

              He is absolutely terrible! Worst announcer ever! I always mute his retarded screaming! We don't need the thug references and all of his hyper screeching.........I hope he goes away soon. He needs a rev limiter.

                Worst ever? Guess most of you never heard of the announcer for the televised jalopy races from Ascot Park in the early '60s. ?ick Lane was primarily a wrestling pitchman and his broadcasts showed that background. He got all excited when a guy did what he called a "crossover". So bad it was almost laughable.

                  I'd like to double down on my dislike for him. I watched video on DoD this morning. Couldn't wait to hit the mute button. Worst I've ever heard.

                    He sounds like he calling a Wrestling Match. Kind of funny, actually.

                      Hope you are serious, because it is true IMO. I do not know how the Waltrips got inserted into this thread. LOL
                      Yet, I guess I do. Anything goes in this place

                        While I might not be a fan of his announcing, I'm not gonna ridicule him for doing something most none of you could come close to doing.
                        I will agree with what someone in a prior post said, if he announced a real barn burner of a race, he might have a cardiac arrest. He was pretty giddy with the show at Southern last night. I almost fell asleep.
