Original post: Legendary NASCAR announcer Ken Squier confirmed that he’s tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
The 85-year-old Squier, who was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2018, made the announcement Thursday on WDEV, the radio station he owns in Waterbury, Vermont.
His daughter, Ashley Squier, told Barre-Montpelier (Vt.) Times Argus … her father had not shown any symptoms himself.
Ken Squier is a key figure in NASCAR’s transition to the national stage on radio and television. He is a co-founder of the Motor Racing Network, served as a pit reporter for the sport’s first live ‘flag-to-flag’ television broadcast (1971 Greenville 200), and was the voice for CBS at the seminal 1979 Daytona 500.
