What Andrew said. No one knows more about stock and super stock than Leo plus it will just be great to hear his voice.

I'll volunteer...not to toot my own horn but the guys here at Lewistown Raceway like me, and the Canadians can vouch too...and I'd just be honored to be there!

Let me just say that Nick Agresta is a super nice guy who has raced,managed racetracks and is a long time announcers guild member. Maybe an off day? Hate to hear this said about him.

I have to agree with tommyd Nick is one of the Good Guys who was just living the dream of announcing at the Big Go, I believe it was his 50th consecutive U.S. Nationals. I understand we are all partial to our favorite announcers. But Nick is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He may not have the technical side of stock and super stock like a Leo or Bob Frey but there is not much in this sport he has not done.

How about that Brian Olson guy? One of the most under-rated announcers

Come on NHRA and get Bret Kepner in there. He's at the race, probably around the 1000' mark, can't mis him he's the one everybody is listening to. Claude Ruel

And also he his a heck of vp fuel salesman to talk to at Terre Haute Indiana but that probably doesn't matter to anybody either. Do a wheelie Nick

Mike Taylor 3601 · 08-29-2013, 06:49 PM

Is this Nick the same one that works @ VP fuels,he told me this would be his 50 th year at US Nationals
Did'nt hear the audio but if this the same Nick, I know he is really nice guy and I would say he had bad day or nerves,it is US NATIONALS, I have the knowledge to do the job but I know I don't have rest of what it takes to be any good @ announcing.

Travis answered my question,I feel bad for Nick,I think it would be a hard job to do.

Leo is in a Class by himself, every time I listened he was awesome. I hope this is a sign of recovery.
