@uAaronn I could not agree with you more. Let's be honest, it's probably nostalgia That we remember we remember it happening and remember the moment For what it is.
15:30 Why do you do this to me, man? :(
I will die on the hill that Allen Bestwick is superior to Rick Allen in every every way and it's a damn shame that he isn't a mainstay in the booth anymore

You ain’t dying on that hill alone I love Rick Allen, especially since 2018 as he’s gotten so much better But you can’t beat a modern NASCAR broadcast without Allen Bestwick or Mike Joy
9:52 "Where are we Bill? You big dummy!"
I remember watching “The Quest for SpongeBob” many years ago. The fact that the same guy who made that video many years ago, which still makes me laugh to this day, is making golden content now such as this is truly incredible. You knocked it out of the park again.
Replacing Bestwick with Weber as lead commentator is still one of the biggest mysteries of my mid-2000's childhood.
Coming back to this after the passing of Ken Squire, RIP legend
I adore commentary, even if the announcers aren’t perfect, they’re voicing their passion and love for the sport right to us. Makes iconic moments even more special.

Absolutely.
Not gonna lie, seeing Mike Larry and Darrell all hug at the end got me chocked up. I miss the trio I grew up listening to😭
I feel as if a couple days ago marked the end of an era for NASCAR with Ken Squier’s passing. Rest in peace to a commentary legend.
"How do commentators join drivers in the Hall of Fame?" Because without Ken Squier it's unlikely NASCAR would have ever reached the heights it did in the 90s and 2000s, that's how.
If it weren't for the commentators, no one would knew what would be happening.

Getting DW to be speechless is a massive accomplishment
I love the influence Jon Bois has had on videos like this. It's very nice to have something seemingly so trivial have such an emotional impact just with good editing and great word choice. Emplemon, JimmyHighRoller, and now this channel have become my favorite channels in terms of presentation
I remember when I'd do races with my diecasts I would literally try and replicate the voices of Mike, Darrell, and Larry. My Waltrip impressions were spot on
Alan left his mark on NASCAR. You see it every race, when the winner does ANOTHER POLISH VICTORY LAP! That's respect. Rest in Peace, brother.
So who else is watching this after Ken Squier’s passing?
Mike Joy is a legend, still my absolute favorite to hear call a race, despite fox's declining quality. This sport truly has been graced by some of the absolute best voices in history. I truly hope these giants in commentary are never forgotten and that their successors are able to retain this level of passion and skill. Fantastic video as usual EP!
"It's Earnhardt!" from the 2014 Daytona 500, "Slide job!" from the 2018 Chicagoland race, and "Take a look at what he did!" from the 2022 Martinsville race are my favorite lines ever.
Allen Bestwick just so happens to be my second cousin, which made me so excited to hear him in the booth for SRX! One of the best to ever do it, for sure
Allen Bestwick will be on the Mt Rushmore of NASCAR Commentators along with Mike Joy
Bob, Benny and Ned are hard to beat as a booth team…and during NASCAR’s era of fastest growth
R.I.P Ken Squier your legacy will. Live in the hearts of fans.
Thank you for giving Mike Joy the recognition he deserves. A lot of fans today just lump him in with the rest of the poor broadcast that Fox has turned into in the last handful of years which is a totally unfair. The guy is a legend and has probably forgot more about automobiles and auto racing than most people know.
2:01 as an announcer, it is tough to contain your excitement on a game-changing call because you need the audience to understand you. And sometimes your brain will fry up trying to setup the finish and start stumbling or get words mixed up.
Single greatest call Larry Mac ever did : "BRAD KESELOWSKI WON THIS RACE." *_vine boom_*
"And Kenseth, cleared by Logano. Maybe? NO! KENSETH TAKES HIM OUT! LOGANO INTO THE WAL! Caution comes out, and the crowd roars."
Larry Nuber did commentate on ESPN until 1989, quote from wikipedia, During a 1989 "Thunder" broadcast on ESPN, an on-air dispute between Nuber and fellow announcer/former racer Steve Chassey led to their dismissal from the network. IMHO, Bob Jenkins, Ned Jarett and Benny Parsons commentary were the best...
man what a sad day for NASCAR.. RIP Ken
My step dad and I still say "Jamie MAC-Murray!" thats still my favorite tri of all time and Mike Joy is the voice of NASCAR for me.
As an Alabama football fan, Eli Gold is a legend. Gonna miss having him say "Touchdown Alabama" this season
i absolutely love the current nbc booth, even when they mess up (which is happening less and less over the years) the energy and excitement in the booth is only matched by the likes of mike joy, larry mac, and darrell waltrip when they were all in the booth
I'm in the UK so for us Murray Walker is the beginning and end of motor racing commentary. But I've started to really gain a love for the NASCAR voices I've seen over the years as I've gotten into the sport. This was a lovely look back for those of us who need to learn the history and how NASCAR got to where it is now.

I'm in the US and Murray Walker is one of the best. (I remember watching F1 with US commentators and finding them boring and no real excitement. (Except for the ocassional one off with Mike Joy and Chris Economacki). Re-watching the European version with Murray Walker was like a completely different race which was exciting).
"Harvick sweeps at Bristol... at Richmond!" 😂
I think Bestwick is my all time favorite, especially from his work for Dirt to Daytona, but it’s been great to see Mike Joy in the booth with many different announcers and do so well. It’s unfortunate he’s starting to have a lot of slip ups, and I fear he won’t be in the booth for too many years to come.

I wouldn't be shocked if next year is his last
DW Larry and Mike just feel like 3 best friends watching a race that's why they are my favorite booth line up
I think one of the voices in nascar around from 2000-2015 are the fans in some races they would just BLAST the fans for example the 2013 auto club finish and it has one of the most iconic quotes in nascar history “THEY TOUCH AND HERE COMES KYLE”
I think that my favorite call from the current Motor Racing Network broadcast team has to be Alex Hayden with the hail melon. "Chastain did a video game move! Drove it and never lifted! Put it against the safer barrier in turn 3, never lifted all the way around the turn, and Ross Chastain passes Denny Hamlin! Ross Chastain is going to the playoffs!"
...wait, wait, Jenks did drag racing commentary? I knew Ken squier did...I knew that for CBS,but Jenks? Also, Paul Page did in fact do NASCAR, yes, and just about everything else in the 80s/90s, too, actually Paul got Jenks his start in broadcasting at ESPN, see Paul's ep on Dinner with Racers wher he mentions it. Seems back in the 80s/90s you'd get comentators doing a bit of everything, pit reporters too, Jack Arute went from NASCAR one week to CART then the ALDS then IROC it felt like back to back on TV, Gary Gerould got sent on assignment when he wasn't the radio voice of the Kings, and so on. I miss those days. I wanna hear Rick Allen calling something totally random like SRX or the Soapbox Derby. Murry Walker over here went everywhere, commentated on everything. in 94 he showed up in the SPN booth with Paul Page for a talk, he then went to Australia later in the year to cover the ATCC, was the voice of the Split in Aussie tin top racing (yes that was a thing an a rabbit hole all on its own....), rallycross, you name it he did it
Allen Bestwick was the BEST at staying quiet and only giving a memorable call when it was the perfect time. Short of the great Ken Squire, Bestwick was...the best 😁

WAIT FOR SCORING
Another great Allen Bestwick call in the Xfinity/Nationwide Series: "Three wide in turn 4! A SQUEEEEEEEEEEZE TO THE OUTSIDE WALL!!! TROUBLE IN THE CORNER!! HARD, VICIOUS CRASH! WHO GETS THROUGH TO WIN THE RACE?!?!?!? Caution flag has just been called, the race leader is JAMES BUESCHER IN THE 30 CAR!!!"
My mom used to work at a restaurant that Mike Joy semi-frequented. She said he was a really nice guy, i think my dad met him one time there too. Small world
Everyone mentioned in this video and then some are the reason that NASCAR is still around and is what it is today So many iconic calls since that first live broadcast has gotten so many fans invested You may want to argue that the moves on the track are what has made NASCAR what it is today, but why make those unbelievable moves if there isn’t someone to make an unforgettable call
I'm happy to see this. The TV people get largely crapped on in the social media world (some of it deserved, most of it not). So I'm happy to see a video that is straight up appreciation of some of these legends. I've been watching since 93 and Mike Joy became my favorite calling BGN races on TNN when I was a kid. I realize his time is coming to end and I appreciate every moment that he's still calling big time races. Its been sad to see many online turn against him. I have a feeling 2024 might be the last year we have him in the Cup booth with a new contract starting 2025. I hope he gets to go out on his own terms and isn't bullied out by a Twitter mob.
"Gentleman, and Jimmy Spencer, start your engines!"
Also I hope that Harvick's inclusion next season will truly bring out Bowyer's potential. The idea that Bowyer who gave easily some of the best skits, interviews, and such to encapsulate the hothead fun of this Southern sport is failing to produce some great clips is inconceivable

Bowyer has had a shit hand dealt to him. He's been unable to create consistent chemistry with his costars due to the revolving booth, it's clear that he and Mike Joy don't have matching energies, and it's clear that Fox's producers prioritize goofiness and silliness in their style, and it puts Bowyer in a box where he has to be the "funny guy" in the booth (remember when Fox was pushing Bowyerisms in his first Duels broadcast?). If you listen to his commentary in 2019/2020, it's completely different from this season. He has the potential to become another one of the all-time greats in TV, but he's not in the right environment to foster that potential
Some of those bad calls sound like Vince McMahon was in their ear yelling at them telling them what to say
As an aspiring sports broadcaster this is a super cool video thanks Elly!
15:19 for me that's the 2013 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 and murph's 2003 shootout lap
Allen Bestwick calling Dale Jr home in 2001 and 2004 makes my hair stand up EVERY time I hear it AB always rose to the occasion when the situation called for it And on Mark Garrow...the moment you used for him at COTA wasn't Mark but Brad Gillie
Rest in peace, Kenley Dean Squier
Shout out to the voices of Sirius XM NASCAR radio who keep us fans informed and entertained year round
I got the honor of running into Doug Rice this last week at Las Vegas. One of my dreams in life is to be a NASCAR announcer so when I saw Doug I knew I had to get a picture with him and talk with him for a minute. When I tell you he was just as excited as I was for me not just to recognize him, but to also want to be where he is, I wouldn’t be lying for a second. My parents witnessed the whole thing and said we both lit up. He is one of the greats and I have no doubt that he will make the hall of fame as an announcer. PRN will never be the same without him after this season
Small track announcer here. Its always great to hear people give some praise to some of greatest to do it.
i loved the fox crew of the 2000s and early 2010s… mike, larry and darrell plus the fantastic foursome, those races would never disappoint
MRN also had a turn announcer named Fritz Duda, he later ran Riverside International Raceway until it was closed in 1989 and turned into a shopping mall
So glad someone made a proper video highlighting the announcers. As fans, we watch racing for... the racing. But it's the announces that make the broadcast truly come alive.
So many legendary announcers came out of radio! Man they sure can paint a picture!
15:45 No way. I'm so happy that that's your favorite call. I like it so much, it's literally my ringtone on my phone right now. A recording of that call is what plays when my phone rings.
Amazing production!! Another most excellent video sir! Thank you! Honorable mentions : Jeff Hammond Steve Byrnes Dave Moody Dr. Dirt Dick Berggren Buddy Baker
Fun fact: Ricky Craven set up his shop right near my hometown.
9:07 - Yes Dick Berggren did join Allen Bestwick in the Booth, but it was for TBS in 2000. The NBC and TNT Booth from 2001 - 2004 was Allen, Wally, and BP
As a mark martin fan I will not sleep tonight. Great video and a great moment in Nascar history. But damn it still hurts.
I'd like to add that outside of the US the most iconic voice out there would be Tony Rivera. If you ask me, there's not a single commentator with as much personality, emotion, passion and talent than him. Look up Spanish broadcasts from the late 2000's and early 2010's, even if you don't understand Spanish, you won't regret it. Awesome video as always
Mike Joy's '98 Daytona call always gets me
Personally, I think we'd all love to hear a booth with Ken Squier, Darrell Waltrip, and Benny Parsons working together
Only if Joy DW and McReynolds we’re together again for this Daytona 500 tomorrow
Don’t think Gordon in the booth will ever be one of those beloved voices. He was a hell of a driver but in the booth he was drier than toast.
And here I am wondering if, just like radio and television, there's eventually going to be a nostalgia for various online commentarors, whether they be folks like Eric Estepp or Darian Gilliam that deliver the news, or more documentarians like Slapshoes or... ... 😏.
I’ll forever remember the call of David Ragan’s Dega win. I know, it may be bias, but it was incredible call.
My man you bring national geographic level documentarys, you deserve 1mill at the very least
When i think of the voice of NASCAR....two men..Ken Squier and Barney Hall.
Anyone else NASCAR Thunder insult flashbacks when they heard Barney Hall’s voice?
“Have you ever?” *”NO I’VE NEVER!”*
commentators are a huge part of NASCAR
Still my favourite call will always be "boogedy boogedy boogedy boys let's go racing"
RIP Ken Squier😢
Neil Bonnett sounds like Dr. Phil. Still iconic tho
From the few old races and clips I've seen Ken Squier didn't just commentate a race he made poetry from it. Also I don't think I can name a celebrity/public figure I belove more than Mike joy
MRN and the voices from the legends they had... That was my childhood
ESPN and Bob Jenkins were responsible for the NASCAR memories of my childhood
This is great. I was searching for exactly this video a couple months ago. Excellent.
There is a man in f1 commentary that is very simmular ken squire. Named murry Walker that was the voice of f1. And is one of the reasons f1 explode like it did

actually, some of the commentators in this video also did commentary for F1 broadcasts in the US. Mike Joy did commentary for Fox Sports during the mid 90s and early 2000s, Bob Jenkins did commentary for ESPN in the 80s and 90s, and Ken Squier also did commentary for CBS in the 80s. Though many F1 fans in the US who started watching F1 before 2018 usually would say that Bob Varsha and Leigh Diffey were the voices of F1 in the US.
"And ross chastain will hold the wheel straight!"
Dude the quality of your videos is SO HIGH THIS WAS AMAZING
Allen Bestwick is the goat and it’s not close. How he isn’t on NBC currently is a crime.
Neil once wrecked during a race and went right up to the booth. 😂
mike joy is probably the greatest lead announcer in nascar history, with ken squier a close second, and Allen Bestwick in third
Don’t forget that Allen spent his time in the trenches at MRN, too. That late 1990s/early2000s intro still makes me happy
Allen Bestwick will always be the unquestioned goat of NASCAR commentary, at least in my eyes. He’s what made the sport so memorable and still has me going back to revisit so many iconic moments. Please, I beg the channels, put him back in the booth
Your videos have quickly become some of my favorites on KZread. Great content and love that you throw a little humor into the videos too. Keep up the good work!
This was phenomenal! I’d happily watch an expanded version of this!
Keep up the awesome videos, man. These calls still give me chills, and they rightly deserve a place in the limelight (and DEFINITELY in the Nascar HOF!) 👏
Been binging your vids since i found you from your last upload, the production and storytelling are incredible and you deserve 40x more subs. Keep it goin
Since MRN doesnt have the video to show the race, the announcers are forced to be more descriptive. And if you ever listen to it, they do an excellent job excellent job, makes the races exciting again.
Keep this content up man. You're a great storyteller.
