Ok here's a trivia question for you….There was a famous car racing competition that took place in Daytona Beach, Florida on the 4th of July - do you know the name? Yes, it was called the Firecracker 400 and 40 years ago….our 40th President attended! In 1989, the "Firecracker" moniker was dropped, and the race was known simply as the Pepsi 400 through 2007. In the early years, the race was always scheduled for July 4, regardless of the day of the week. Beginning in 1988, the race was moved to the first Saturday of July…and today….well, it's called Coke Zero Sugar 400 and held in August at the Daytona Raceway in Florida…and so it goes… But let's go back to 1984! The "Start your engines" command was given by President Ronald Reagan but not in person…from the phone on Air Force One! He then later landed at Daytona Beach International Airport and was escorted to one of the main press boxes at the speedway where he was met by a number of reporters, one of them being Ned Jarrett, who asked him to do some play-by-play commentary on MRN - the Motor Racing Network. And here's how it started…

The NASCAR world is ready to take to the streets of downtown Chicago this weekend and this week's NASCAR Live is all about getting you ready for that big event. We chat with one of the favorites to win the race, Michael McDowell. Mike Bagley is then joined by Chris Wilner and Kurt Becker to look back at last year's inaugural event and preview this year's racing action.

Over the years I've become a real good spectator. But what appealed to me about racing from day one is the same stuff that appeals to me now. It's the whole visceral approach to racing. It's the image of the cars, both on the pace lap as they come around the grandstand, as well as flat out racing. And it was also that voice from above, the announcer, the guy who was telling me what was happening on the track, but probably equally as importantly, what was happening off the track, the fellow who was weaving this whole storyline for the balance of the day or the evening, whatever the case may be. We have with us tonight... Joe Morata, the voice of Syracuse for 44 years at Super Dirt Week. Roy Sova, with over 50 years at Oswego Speedway. Gary Montgomery, who for several years was one of the voices, on the Motor Racing Network. Mike Paz, who announced nine different NASCAR tracks over the years. Frank Del Vecchio, our racer turned announce, and last but certainly not least, Greg Rickes, the voice of Lime Rock. We don't have six good announcers up here… We have six great announcers up here!

The Uncommon Deeds Podcast was created as an homage to Kenley Dean Squier, who taught us, Tom Corbett and Justin St. Louis, how to work effectively in sports media and give audiences a reason to care.

Join us as we recount memories of the voice of American motorsports, the founder of Thunder Road, Catamount Stadium, and the Motor Racing Network, the guiding force of Radio Free Vermont at WDEV, and - all at once - a common man from Waterbury, Vermont, who made a habit of doing uncommon deeds. Hear memories and thoughts from Ken's daughter, Ashley Squier, and her husband, Robbie Crouch, along with Kevin Lepage, Dave Dion, Brian Hoar, and Aaron Maynard, sprinkled in with select audio clips from our previous shows and some of Ken's memorable calls. We thank you for your continued support of the Uncommon Deeds Podcast, and we hope that this show brings you as much joy and comfort as it did for us. --Tom & Justin

Kyle Rickey of MRN and Stafford Speedway joins Davey Segal (7:00) to discuss his career in radio, motorsports and how the two have converged going on the better part of two plus decades. He recalls the day he was legally allowed to work at a radio station (his birthday), why he was infatuated with radio from a young age, how monster trucks sparked his interest in motorsports and growing up in the Northeast with a unique racing culture surrounding him. He also dives into how he got hooked up with the Motor Racing Network, his audition at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, duties he currently holds and has held over the years, his first Daytona 500 and Rolex 24 broadcasts and more. Plus, his Disney obsession, insane rolodex of selfies and what's left on his professional motorsports bucket list. Davey also touches on William Byron's second consecutive victory at Phoenix, previews Atlanta and Papa Segal pays homage to the Buckeye Bullet.

If you've listened to or watched a NASCAR race in the past 50 years, there's a voice that is synonymous with some of the sport's biggest moments. Legendary broadcaster Mike Joy joins Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis to fill listeners in on his career, as well as talk shop about the broadcasting craft.After a meteoric rise from the PA booth of New England's finest short tracks, Joy has gone on to work for almost every major broadcasting network in motorsports over the past five decades. Growing up in Windsor, Connecticut, Joy enrolled at the University of Hartford pursuing a degree in engineering. It was here that he got his first on-air experience after taking a position at the university's radio station as a play-by-play commentator for sporting events. It was also during these years that he became involved in the world of motorsports. He had developed a love for sports cars as a teenager, thanks to an extensive collection of auto magazines and his father's acquisition of a two-seater that the two worked on. His admiration for the road racing experts of the day, such as Dan Gurney and Mark Donohue sparked an interest to join the driving ranks himself. But without proper funding or opportunity, he settled into the sport of autocross where competitors could use their street vehicles. His autocross club brought him to Riverside Park Speedway in Agawam, Massachusetts – a small pavement oval located in an amusement park. Thanks to his broadcasting experience, he was asked to hop on the microphone during an autocross meet one Sunday to help inform any park attendees who may have wandered into the track exactly what was happening in the competition. Before long, park owner Ed Carroll noticed that a few hundred people had gathered in the grandstands to watch a single car weaving around barrels, and invited Joy on board to become a fill-in PA announcer.

If you've listened to or watched a NASCAR race in the past 50 years, there's a voice that is synonymous with some of the sport's biggest moments. Legendary broadcaster Mike Joy joins Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis to fill listeners in on his career, as well as talk shop about the broadcasting craft. After a meteoric rise from the PA booth of New England's finest short tracks, Joy has gone on to work for almost every major broadcasting network in motorsports over the past five decades.  Growing up in Windsor, Connecticut, Joy enrolled at the University of Hartford pursuing a degree in engineering. It was here that he got his first on-air experience after taking a position at the university's radio station as a play-by-play commentator for sporting events. It was also during these years that he became involved in the world of motorsports. He had developed a love for sports cars as a teenager, thanks to an extensive collection of auto magazines and his father's acquisition of a two-seater that the two worked on. His admiration for the road racing experts of the day, such as Dan Gurney and Mark Donohue sparked an interest to join the driving ranks himself. But without proper funding or opportunity, he settled into the sport of autocross where competitors could use their street vehicles.  His autocross club brought him to Riverside Park Speedway in Agawam, Massachusetts – a small pavement oval located in an amusement park. Thanks to his broadcasting experience, he was asked to hop on the microphone during an autocross meet one Sunday to help inform any park attendees who may have wandered into the track exactly what was happening in the competition. Before long, park owner Ed Carroll noticed that a few hundred people had gathered in the grandstands to watch a single car weaving around barrels, and invited Joy on board to become a fill-in PA announcer. Although he initially turned down the offer, citing a disinterest in the crude jalopies of the oval racing circuit, he attended a Saturday night show at the recommendation of the track's public relations specialist.
