RIP Ken, we’re gonna miss you.
Yes😢
Rest In Peace Ken! You made NASCAR so popular and we all will miss you.
Every time Ken was on a broadcast, it made you sit up in your chair and watch every lap because he made every lap important.
Agree 💯 Also a lot like Art Eckman with Supercross/ motocross
Rest in peace to one of the greatest to ever get in front of a mic. One of the GOATs.
Ken was the one who helped all drivers and races to have their own unique personality, Rest in peace. 🕊️
RIP Ken🙏
My wife and I live in Vermont,nascar fans and we share in the grief of nascar family everywhere. Rest in Paradise,Ken. Thank you for all you did for race fans here and elsewhere. Godspeed.🙏
Rest in Peace, Ken Squier, you will always be remembered in our hearts forever as a former play by play broadcaster from years ago. 🙏
For me, in the 70s and 80s, Ken was the voice of NASCAR. We thank you, Ken, and your family for letting us have you all of these years. You could always tell he loved this sport and carried it with such respect.
Barney Hall said it best. He taught me not to scream into the mike when something happens like Dale Jr. and Jeff Burton. They should watch and learn from a real broadcaster. He was the best.
RIP Ken. Thanks for hear his broadcasting voice of NASCAR races event.
RIP Mr. Squier. Thank you for all you did for stock car racing and all the fond memories you helped to create
He was a professional and Awesome story Teller, We Will Miss u KEN 🙏🏻
Rest in peace, Ken Squier, the original voice of the Motor Racing Network and NASCAR.
And thank you for everything.
Remember exactly where I was for that 1st broadcast on CBS in 79, couldn't believe we were seeing a stock car race live, Ken made it happen
Rest well, Ken. Thank you for spending all those countless afternoons with us and making this sport feel larger than life.
The man who created the great American Race
The voice of my youth, the man with a legacy that will live on.
Rip 💔
It was a great ride
RIP Ken, we are gonna miss you 😢😢
Thank you for your hard work and helping me enjoy Nascar Racing. RIP Mr. Squier. 👊👍🏻😁🙏
Ken Squier is one of the reasons NASCAR racing became a sensation. He was the first to make the Daytona 500 great, along with CBS. Squier is gone and so is NASCAR. Totally different today than it was when racers were allowed to race. Very little meddling with the cars or the teams. Rest in peace Ken. Thanks.
RIP Ken, thank you for everything you did for Nascar ❤❤❤❤❤
An incredible talent. Simply worldclass. The Jim Ross of NASCAR.
And there's a fight, will always remind me of the great Ken Squier. RIP sir
Bless your soul. RIP
RIP Ken Squier. Your iconic voice, your iconic calls and those you have mentored and developed into amazing announcers will never be forgotten. I guess there is one hell of a race up there that you must call with your former colleague Barney Hall that you have been taken from this earth. You will be heavily missed by the close friends and family, along with the NASCAR community. With heavy hearts, we bid you farewell Ken, till we get hear your voice again one day…
This makes me very sad. All the folks I grew up with are gone...
Rest Easy Ken, thank you for Putting NASCAR on the Map and thanks for having a Wide array of Words and Terms when Calling Races
On paper, 88 seems to be a ripe old age. In reality, it's always too soon for the beloved. May your soul rest peacefully, Mr. Squier, and prayers of peace and comfort to your family, friends and colleagues.
RIP Ken Squire
That race at Daytona was amazing, as well as every other race he broadcasted
Rest in peace...
RIP to a Legend 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Rest in peace, Ken. You are a true legend. 😢
He was such a HUGE part of bringing nascar to where it is today. RIP Ken. Rest well up there 🙏
You crossed the line Ken, checkered flag in the air. Rest easy and enjoy your victory. Your voice and stories will live on.
RIP Ken, all of us are going to miss you. You may be gone but will never be forgotten.
Rest In Peace Ken
Thank you for decades of calling my sport.
Rip ken you were a big part of my childhood 😢

RIP Ken, what a legendary voice of the sport
I'll remember at MIS getting to meet him while providing suite security I fell in love with NASCAR because of Ken and 45 yrs later still love ❤️ NASCAR @ nearly 61 Eternal Rest Mr Squire thanks for helping shape NASCAR and bringing the Sport alive in the broadcast booth!
RIP Ken, your legacy will live on. 🙏
May he rest in peace 😢
R.I.P. Ken Squier. I enjoyed listening to your commentary and insight for NASCAR for many years. You sir are an Icon! Thank you for all the memories.
First time I've seen him with Ned and Dale Jarrett in 2015-17 for the throwback race in Darlington. Rest In Peace Ken, and thanks for the memories.
The best voice Nascar ever had. The racing world, the broadcast world, the fans, the drivers and so many others who have been impacted by Mr. Squier will never forget his epic calls of so many races throughout his time in the broadcast booth. How can anyone ever match what he has done for this sport. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. He will always be in my fond racing memories. He and Chris Economaki are legends that helped bring the greatest racing to all of us who would listen. R.I.P. sir🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
Absolute legend. RIP.
This is a legend who helped to grow the sport that we all love into what it is today. Ken did so much and gave so much to us all. May he rest in peace and never be forgotten 🙏🏾
no technically what it is 2day is garbage.what it was was gold.r.i.p ken squire
Ken was and always WILL be the true story teller of NASCAR.. we will miss Ken 😢
RIP Ken, we all will miss you
Ken had a way of speaking that was almost like poetry. NASCAR is naturally such a dramatic sport. It's a highly dangerous sport, with unrivaled scope. The facilities are miles long, the speeds are over 200mph. Smoke and fire and roaring engines. Ken Squier verbally captured the poetry of NASCAR every broadcast. RIP to a true great.
No matter what series. No matter what rack, no matter if it was NASCAR at Daytona, Indycar at Detroit or Nazareth, or even NHRA, Ken made it absoluely mus see event. He called some of the wildest moments, but was himself through and through
😭😭😭 He definitely will be missed.
RIP Ken. Wish you didn't have to leave this world just yet, but we are looking forward to watching any documentaries about you.
The very best NASCAR announcer ever had. RIP❤❤❤
We lpst one of the best ever, enjoyed watching every broadcast and his enthusiasm and emotion. RIP Ken, you are a legend
RIP Squier you along with Jenkins always will be the voice of Winston Cup....you are missed.
I remember the first time I heard the name, the first NASCAR race I ever saw, the 1998 Daytona 500, was when Mike Joy handed it down to “the man who brought the Daytona 500 to CBS, Ken Squier,” as he proceeded to interview Dale Earnhardt when he won his first and only 500. I was 14 at the time and that was my introduction to NASCAR. In the years that followed, I took it upon myself to learning more about NASCAR and the rich tradition and historic moments that led the sport to what it is today, and I learned a lot from watching Ken and his colleagues in many archived videos. I don’t claim to be a huge NASCAR fan, but what knowledge I’ve acquired to enjoy the races I still watch today, particularly the 500, I owe to one of the true storytellers of the sport, Mr. Ken Squier. RIP, sir, and thank you.
You have won the race ken........R.I.P.
This gentleman’s voice was all over my childhood…..From calling the first race i ever saw to being in the movies i watched (Stroker Ace and RAD) this is truly sad day
To the man who made us really believe in NASCAR...on the day when everybody was snowed in back in 1979, never knowing that staying home on Sunday became forever...a blessing.
Thank you & Godspeed, Ken Squier. You've earned your place...where only the stars are higher.
Checkered Flag Waves For You!!!
🏎🏁
He is a legend in his own right. He will never be forgotten. R.I.P Ken. Say hello to to Barney Hall, Dale, Davey, Adam, Kenny Rodney, Neil, Tim, Benny, JD., Alan and may others who have passed away.
Love you Ken❣️ I so miss all the broadcasters of classic NASCAR. Thanks for being a major part of my life and love for auto racing as a young kid grown now and can still hear y'all's voices when I watch❤
The greatest voice in motor racing history, I loved to listen to him call the races.
One of the true legends of NASCAR. RIP Ken Squire
He was great. Watched him forever and enjoyed his analysis. We could use more analysts like him. Explain real strategy for youngsters while still making the event exciting for long time fans.
Thanks for everything you've done alongside former greats during NASCAR's greatest moments, Ken.
Along with many others like Bob Jenkins.. you'll be missed greatly.
RIP Legend. Another voice from my childhood, gone, but he will never be forgotten. He did so much for this sport. So grateful. Always respected him.
The voice of NASCAR. Legend. Thank you and rest in peace Mr. Squier ❤🙏🏁
What a voice! This guy WAS racing during a golden era.
RIP Ken Squier. Loved your bit part on Stroker Ace! My dad was a sprint car and stock car mechanic back in the '50's through the '70's so I was exposed to NASCAR at an early age. (Winston West) Ken Squier was around for a long time. Godspeed.
RIP Ken, thanks for all the great coverage.
I am a blind Nascar fan, and I primarily listen to the races on the motor racing Network. It is because of names like Ken and Barney Hall that I am even a fan today.
Rip too one of best ever thank you Ken squier
Such a Legendary name in motorsports and broadcasting. Ken will be missed by many, myself included. RIP 🙏
REST IN PEACE You set the bar you were the voice you will be remembered for the rest of time as long as cars go around a track and in fond memories of our racing past , you will be greatly missed thank you for your voice that guided a sport
RIP Ken, loved listening to you, you will be missed!!
Rest in peace. Legend
Loved listening to him paint an image of what was happening on the track and the 79 Daytona broadcast was a game changer for the sport! One of a kind and Iconic, you will be missed Sir !
Ken's voice was THE BEST for watching a race on TV - he brought so much DRAMA to the event but IN THE RIGHT WAY, so that you were forced to pay attention and get excited about the thrills, danger, skills, passions, and risks involved - exactly the things that motorsports fans are drawn to... RIP Ken you were one of a kind and thanks for setting the bar so high. At least a decent portion of the credit for the explosion of NASCAR's popularity late 80's into early 90's must be attributed to you 🏁
A true motorsport legend! Rest in peace.
Wow, another symbol and Icon of Nascar's glory days gone ... Ken was the voice of NASCAR. No longer a NASCAR fan nor can I remember the last time I tuned into a race but, from the early 80's throughout the 90's and up to about 02 when I was a fan, Kens voice brought with it anticipation and excitement every February with the beginning of a new season starting with the Daytona 500
I remember watching that first tv broadcast in 1979 and the drama and play by play Ken delivered was outstanding. Stellar Job Ken....you will be missed. Thankfully we have RUclips to listen to his call of the race.
What a man. What a LEGEND.
RIP🙏
Thanks for being a part of my childhood listening to you call the races. You will be missed. Fly high Ken Squier!
The absolute best commentator in motor sports. Mt Rushmore of greatest in any sport.
I remember listening to Ken on the radio in the late 70's. He piqued my interest in NASCAR, and as he was calling the race I would re-enact it with my Hot Wheels cars on the oval woven rug in my bedroom at Ft. McClellan, Alabama. Pencils lining the straights and pit road, books tucked underneath to create bankings. His was a remarkable voice with a remarkable impact. Then came the TV broadcasts and that changed everything. Thanks for the memories, Ken.
Ken Squier
Benny Parsons
Bob Jenkins
Murray Walker (F1)
Chick Hearn (Lakers Basketball)
John Madden (NFL)
Are all some of the most recognizable voices I grew up with as a kid watching sports. Another one, sadly gone.
Thank you Ken for painting a picture so alluring for me as a child, that I have now had a 26 year career in the sport
When Ken was a driver in Vermont, my dad got picked out of bunch of kids and rode the victory lap with him. He bought Thunder Road raceway in Barrie VT. We used to ride our snowmobiles there when it was abandoned.
I loved listening to that great man broadcast a race. He will be missed.
Ken, thanks for the memories.
There is and never will be anyone more instrumental in NASCAR broadcasting than Ken Squier. He is a giant. If NASCAR had a Mount Rushmore, he would be on it with Bill France, Bill France Jr, and Junior Johnson.
