In addition to calling all 23 of the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series events, he co‐hosted the entire schedule of ESPN Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series shows and as part of those broadcasts hosted the NHRA Sportsman Spotlight segments, and provides the stats for the ESPN NHRA Full Throttle event coverage.
