The fans of car races in the United States are mourning for the death of the former Nascar announcer, Bill Weber, who died at the age of 67.
The news of Weber's death has only begun to circulate now, although the veteran station died on December 13, 2024.
The news was broken by the National Motorsports Press Association on Monday.
Weber was originally from New Jersey and attended the University of Butler before entering the transmission media.
His rise through the ranks of the car transmission coincided with a peak in the popularity of Nascar in the 1990s in the mid -2000s.
He spent time as a boxes reporter and study presenter with TNN and ESPN in the 1990s before jumping to NBC in 2001 when the network won the rights to transmit the sport for the first time.
Weber became the main voice of NBC in 2004 when he replaced the main announcer Allen Bestwick for turning back. It was impressed enough to replace full -time Bestwick.
NBC ended up launching the sport in 2006, but Weber stayed to call the races with TNT until 2009.
That year, Weber was suspended after an altercation in a hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire.
He was there to cover a race in the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the nearby Loudon, but was sent home after the incident and never seemed to call Nascar's races again.
After his transmission career ended, Weber decided to change the way and strangely became a magician until his death.
