      Jeff Broeg was from eastern Ia and the best in his day. Does he still do any announcing?

        . Exactly. I’m cool if someone actually practices what they preach but it does not appear to be the case here.

          Sounds like you have not done your proper homework. What does covid response have to do with race? And as far as the other goes .. 5 minutes on google and you can figure out the other stuff has been hijacked for other purposes than those that are being portrayed. Facts over fiction.

            Broeg does not do any regular announcing, but does fill in from time to time at various tracks. The announcer at 34 last night may have been ok for TV, but could barely be heard from the grandstands and did very little to acknowledge the reason this race exists.

                  Thank you. I remember Billy when he raced. He also was the announcer when my father was inducted to the Adams County Speedway Hall of Fame.

                  Glad to hear he is doing well and his talents are appreciated.

                    Precisely why I don't yell and scream. We are supposed to ADD to the show. Not detract from it

                      The best announcers are like the best referees. After the show is over, you should barely remember who they were. The show is on the track. Nothing else needs to be added. Just give us the necessary info and turn the mic off otherwise. If there’s downtime for some reason, play music, or prerecorded interviews.
