I have no idea who he is. Although I do know how the current cast of sports broadcasters would make this guy look like Plato.

Fantastic job with the show today Steve. Really great to hear Jack Whitaker's thoughts and recollections of racing throughout the years.

Jesus Steve...I got to listen to the archive just now and I can't believe I'm sitting at my desk and wiping tears from my eyes hearing Jack and those replays. Please do this more often! Get more of these old guys that you and I grew up listening to on and lets give them their due...

Thanks again!

I loved hearing his voice again. It's remarkable that it has changed very little over the years. I could go through the segment piece by piece, but that's not necessary because I enjoyed every bit of it.

But as soon as the 1973 clip with Jack's voice began, I got major chills up my spine. Thanks for bringing it all back...again. I will never tire of hearing that as long as I live.
