Its Official: Bob Jenkins Will Lead Versus Broadcast
As heard straight from the horses mouth. Bob Jenkins has confirmed what you may have read on my site last Wednesday, that he will indeed be the “play by play” man for the 13 race Versus schedule next season alongside 2 other booth guys and 3 pit reporters. After an auditon and 2 months of waiting, Jenkins was told by Speedway officials that he is the guy. Although the deal is not done, he has been confirmed. He may also return to turn two for the IMS radio network at the 500.

I am psyched about this; Bob is a great voice in the sport and actually has a personality.
I’m equally as happy Scott Goodyear’s name hasn’t been mentioned.

This is good news…I won’t feel the need to go to the simulcast for better coverage. I just hope I don’t hear any more “CHASE for the CHAMPIONSHIP” references from anybody else with a microphone…
