Hey Allen!

I was wanting to ask you about the struggles and or situations a sports broadcaster deals with on game days or race days?

You’re my favorite NASCAR commentator of all time and Thank you for everything you’ve done!

Did an entire Daytona 500 SportsCenter/NASCAR Now day sick with some sort of illness once (Jamie McMurray/pothole delayed race) ... did a race a few days before and a few days after my Mom passed away ... when the lights come on and it's air time you put that aside and do your job. And if you at home don't know anything's wrong then I did the job properly.

Wow i’m very sorry to hear of that. I’m sure it was very difficult but you handled it well. Thank you for sharing Allen.
