The Greatest Story Ever Told, The 1979 Daytona 500. Rest in peace Ken, thank you for the memories.
I will always appreciate just how much Ken did for the sport
Chills… Every… Damn… Time…
Some pretty dumb racing right there. Did he say a pair of the greatest? No way shape or form.
Maybe not a pair Check Yarboroughs record it speaks for it self first three times in a row cup champion with 83 wins
He was with one of the greatest cup drivers of all time one of them I mind you
@Mark Marantz I can see he’s not from this bullshit driving.
Fly high Ken! This guy is goated
Undoubtedly his best call! RIP Ken Squier
clear cut case of “if you ain’t first you’re last”
You can almost hear Moonhead screaming *_”WE GOT BEEF!”_*
I remember this call like it was yesterday. I was a senior in high school in high school and have always been a diehard NASCAR fan. Like others have said, this call helped NASCAR to become the sport that it became in the 80s and early 90s. Rest in peace to one of the greatest broadcasters of my favorite sport.
Rip Ken
The greatest call he ever made, RIP to the GOAT in NASCAR broadcasting
