The announcer of the SAS race

[Jerky]

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think the primary job of the announcer is to keep people informed about what's going on. That starts with knowing who is driving what car. Also helps to know the louder you scream into a microphone, the less people can understand what you are saying. There are a few great announcers who are capable of stealing the show but enhance the actual show instead, tons of average ones, and then ones who are painful or who think they are the show but somehow get to keep doing it.

Everybody got a shout out last night lol

Tell me if I’m wrong, but didn’t he say people were sending him messages wanting shout outs ?

Spanky with the Uron man series does the same deal with shout outs. Shouldn’t they be watching the action in the track instead of watching their phones? Phones should be on race monitor/ my race pass for timing/positions information. Leave the Facebook/tic-tok/ Twitter stuff in the car until after the races. The folks at the track should be the #1 priority- then those viewing from home or elsewhere.
Hopefully: some of these guys will read these comments and make some corrective moves.

Correction to above: Iron Man Series

The Iron Man announcer is not good. Very few announcers are, he’s really bad though.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

He’s been with Chris Tilley for a long time-they we’re both previously with Ray Cook’s different series until the blow up the night before the Southernationals Final at Tazewell.
If you want to hear 2 country boy announcers- Ray’s Tri-County track in Brasstown, NC has them!

I personally like the Ironman announcer, think Spanky does a great job. The SAS announcer is an acquired taste, I don't care for the yelling but I will deal with it as long as he watches the race. When its take 2+ minutes for him to realize the leader pulled off for a flat tire because he is doing other stuff, then I hit the mute button.

256-924-4546 and matt.wagner@sasdirt.com are the contacts. When I contacted them about the terrible things the announcer did awhile back, a female replied stating diversity is the key and they love him. I then replied what the announcer did and what he did not do that is required for that position, no reply. People, please contact them and let your thoughts be known so they can put pressure on the announcer to correct his errors. He refuses do carry out my suggestions to make him a better announcer.

He may be passionate, but he is far from knowledgeable. No one knew who was in the #57. The kept calling him Aaron Carrier Jr when apparently it was Aaron Carter. Then someone must have texted him about Eddie Carrier Jr and he said he knew who he was, and it was one of his childhood heroes. However, I don't think he ever realized that he was actually in the race driving the 66C as he never elaborated on him. Then when the 33 spun in turn one, he said he slammed into the euk tire.....there wasn't even any euk tires in turns 1 and 2. Henry Hornsby Jr was Hank Hornsby Jr numerous times. Finally, why would a sanctioning body want their voice promoting to the audience that the haters can just mute if they don't like what they hear. I haven't even touched on all his screaming about events that aren't even occurring on the racetrack. Everybody today is so politically correct. He has poor grammar: he was talking several times about his best closest friend? He is absolutely the worst I've heard in 50 years, and I don't think it makes good business sense for XR SAS to present a race that the audience has to mute. As a comparison, consider the entertainment that James Essex and Dustin Jarrett provided the other night for the Lucas Oil race?!

I absolutely agree with every point made!!

It’s really not that serious…
