Listening to McCandless each year is a pleasure. The 32x14 story, the carb story and so many others. Brian Lohnes though has to be the best voice in any form of racing. Listening to him for stock and super stock is awesome. I can barely remember much of Bob Frey, but hopefully Lohnes has that type of longevity as it’d be awesome to come to Indy each year with him on the mic. He’s great.
