Now that he's in the Mahoning Valley, McGary might have to incorporate Wedding Soup, Brier Hill Pizza or Cookie Table into his calls.

How could he stop..
I bet he will get confused at least once. Hopefully they pump the announcer to the outside..makes it 1000x more exciting for the fan

Had a great talk with him tonite. Nice guy, air of competence. He will also be doing the program odds and some analysis between races.

Glad you had a good time! GM expected 1000 people. My over/under was 3000. The Postman's Picks Tip Sheet did well Monday. The top pick won 4 races, finished 2nd in 2 others, including a photo finish in the last race. (Shameless plug).
