Knew I’d miss Rick Eshelman, just didn’t know how bad.

Ralph is a good guy for hype but he don't know jack about the drivers or the cars in general. Reuben at least has note cars like James and Rick to write down info needed for the drivers. The absolute best announcer I've ever heard is Chuck Greenslate from PRP. He doesn't get excited about much and can tell you everything about the driver and his car. He even goes the extra step to tell you what the driver does for a living.

Ozzie Altman was one of the greatest. Unfortunately he is in a nursing /rehab facility since his massive stroke in 2018. He was the voice of the Hav-A-Tampa series.

If it was his job I'll bet he'd know a lot about the drivers and cars.

I hear quite a few local track announcers that are a lot better than national and regional series announcers.

If we voted on our favorites I'll almost guarantee they'd be guys who don't scream and don't tell awful jokes and don't find it necessary to give every driver an inane nickname.

Agree, Rick was a great announcer. Give Reuben a break, it's his 1st full season as the main guy in the booth and developing his own style in the process. It may not work for everyone and that honestly is ok in my mind as long as he's being honest in his presentation, enunciates clearly and shows an unbiased view.

There are times when I too turn the sound down on the other broadcasts. I want to hear a clean description about the race, which I think Reuben delivers. Race announcers like everyone else get excited at times - for me the key to that is using words to describe the action on the track vs an 'ooohhh' or an 'aaaaahhhrrrgggghhh' ...

I don't want to go to the chuckle hut or re-live & rehash the hall of fame years and hear the same 20 sponsor, 3 address description when introducing a driver.

Reubens doing fine. Give the kid a break, its his 1st full season. That announcing gig isnt a easy job!!

[Josh Bayko]

Rueben is still trying a little too hard and he’s really young. As he matures, his announcing should settle down and get more consistent.

Reuben is doing great! Dude LOVES the sport and the drivers. Let him find his groove.

[Rajflyboy]

Reuben isn’t bad 👍

If I could offer Reuben one piece of advice, it would be that there's no reason to read each and every sponsor on the car every time the car goes out for time trials. Stick to two or three, rotate the rest of the list in during different events. I think most sponsors would agree. "From Oakwood, Illinois, driving the Hoker Trucking, Allgayer Inc., Rio Grand Waste Services Longhorn, it's Bobby Pierce!" said calmly gets a lot more bang for the buck than "From Oakwood, Illinois driving the HokerTruckingAllgayerIncRioGrandeWasteServicesSeni orLifeInsuranceMesillaValleyTransport<<GASP>>>Toyo taOfDanvilleBaseRacingFuelExtremeElectricQualityPa intAndBody<<GASP>>VicHillRacingEnginesAllstarPerfo rmance Longhorn, it's Bobby Pierce!"
