/ motorsportsonnbc
Rest in peace, Ken squire. You described some of the greatest NASCAR races of my lifetime and I will always remember and I will always know why I enjoyed either watching you on TV or listening to you on the motor racing network.
RIP Ken. Yours was one of my favorite voices calling races during my youth!
A common man, who will never be forgotten.
😢 Grew up with him RIP Ken .
Rest in Peace Ken. We will miss you.
And there's a fight! We will never forget, Ken!
Ken knew how to call Auto Racing beautifully!
Rest in Peace, Ken
A voice we grew up with and will always be a core memory for racing fans. RIP
He was a good announcer,RIP.
good????????????.he is and always b the gold standard in announcing.
Godspeed Ken. Thank you for tireless contributions to this glorious Sport.
One of the best Play by Play Men in AutoRacing. Metro Detroit Loves you guys!!! G
I always loved when NASCAR on NBC and NASCAR on FOX would bring him back to voice over some of their special events. Ken's place in history will always be among the best.
Godspeed Ken Squier. He fought the real "Fight" until the end. Glad I got to hear him call the 2015 and 2016 Southern 500
This is brutal. I often thought many, many times about Ken and how I missed him on TV. I have to give NBC Sports many thanks for bringing Ken back to call a segment of racing on throwback weekend. In my opinion, Ken was the best to ever do motorsports. God Bless Ken and his family.
Rest in peace to an absolute legend! You will be missed, Ken.
Ken Squire was part of a generation that set the standard for motorsports coverage. He, Ned Jarrett, Benny Parsons, Bob Jenkins, and Paul Paige were the voices of racing in America
I'm so sad. 💔 He was truly a beloved legend. We're going to miss you, sir. R.I.P. Thanks for all the great memories and your incredible career.
Ken was an legendary broadcaster for both radio and television his iconic career will always be memorable. RIP Ken.
The voice that this man as a young boy listened to while doing farm chores, helped me fall in love with a sport that I still love today. Kens approach to the race will never be matched. That iconic voice that many of us love to hear. It sucks when an icon is lost. The nascar community is deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I think I can speak for many when I say” ken squire was the voice of nascar”
Rest in Peace Mr. Ken Squier. Your easily on my Mount Rushmore of Motorsports broadcasters along with Murray Walker, Bob Jenkins, and Paul Page. You will be missed by many, including myself. Godspeed Mr. Squier!
I wish there was a spot for Chris Economaki on that Mount Rushmore
@@higgy04 Agreed, Mr. Economaki would be the fifth.
Rest in peace Ken Squier You will be be missed but your voice will live on and memories of your commentating will be cherished forever throughout the coming decades of a whole new generation in nascar
Rest in peace, Ken. You are a legend.
When I hear that voice, I know I'm listening to the best.
So sad,rest in peace :(
RIP Ken Squier 🙏
I was so happy when he returned for the first throwback weekend at Darlington in 2015. This one hurts so much. Rest In Peace, Ken Squier.😢😢💔💔
I already miss Ken. I was an 80's teen glued to Nascar, never missed a race I will
Always hear ken calling the action.
RIP legend. Thank you for painting so many beautiful verbal pictures for me and many others growing up in the 70's and 80's.
Thank you so much Mr. Squier . First heard you in the early 80s . You will forever be linked to the success of NASCAR. You will always be in my heart and memories. Rest In Peace friend.
Ken, you brought me many many Nascar races to my living room! Sir you will be missed 🙏
My condolences go out to the friends and family of Ken. He has always been a part of Nascar for as long as i was watching the races. Just like all the drivers we have lost he will be missed but NEVER forgotten. Ken you will be in our hearts always and tell Dale we all say hi
You will be missed Ken, but the impact you left on the sport will be felt for eternity.
I,m so sad ... this man was a VERY IMPORTANT part of my life . I watched and listened to as many broadcasts as i could over the yrs , specially The Daytona 500 . What FUN & DAZZLING DESCIPTIONS Ken could convey to the listening audience !!! A vocabulary all his own , which was just the ultimate in listening pleasure !!! Ken was Truly an innovator and a TRUE PIONEER !!! Thank-You Ken Squier for ALL THE FABULOUS RACE CALLS OVER THE YRS -- U WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN !!!! RIP ❤💯
Just as important as any driver.
Ken's impact is immeasurable.
Rest In Peace Ken squier you were the greatest broadcaster we ever had. You were very good. Rest In Peace Ken.
Rest in peace to "The Voice of NASCAR"... Thanks for the memories sir...
One thing about Ken Squier is that he was NASCAR's Sid Collins. He began his pilgrimage to becoming one of the main voices of NASCAR at a time when Sid Collins was at his prime, and much as Collins helped spearhead the way the Indianapolis 500 was covered in the 29 years he did the race, first for Mutual and then the IMS Radio Network, including the first live flag-to-flag coverage of the Indianapolis 500 in 1953, Squier did the same for NASCAR and the Daytona 500, first with MRN in 1970 (I believe their first race was the 1970 Daytona 500), and then with CBS, spearheaded by that fateful meeting in May of 1978 that wound up bringing the Daytona 500 to CBS for flag-to-flag coverage in 1979, the year after CBS had begun the tradition of all-day sports programming to lead into the Super Bowl, which they had done to lead into Super Bowl XII, the first one shown in prime time.
With the announcement of Squier's death, virtually of of the voices that helped bring NASCAR to it's peak of popularity are now gone. Jim McKay, Bill Flemming, Keith Jackson, Chris Economaki, Bob Jenkins, Larry Nuber, Benny Parsons, Barney Hall, Brock Yates, and now Squier. As far as I know, only Ned Jarrett, Jackie Stewart, and David Hobbs are left, and Jarrett's 91 and Stewart, who's 84, had a stroke earlier this year.
As I mentioned, Squier was NASCAR's Sid Collins, and Squier's on-air eulogy for Dale Earnhardt, Sr. on FOX Sports was for TV viewers in 2001 what Collins' eulogy for Eddie Sachs after Sachs had been pronounced dead during the stoppage after the crash that killed both he and Dave MacDonald early in the 1964 Indianapolis 500 was for the millions listening to that race on the radio was at the time.
listen to him broadcast many a Time , god rest his sole, I think he loved his time here on earth. R.I.P.
He'll be missed. He was a great asset for broadcasting races. Blessings to the family and Nascar family . Melanie
I wish I had a nickel for every Sunday that Ken Squire painted a racing play-by-play picture through my radio speakers. Well done sir 🏁
No body does it better than Ken. It was as great on Radio as it was on TV. RIP Ken 🙏 and say Hey to Dale Sr.
The pioneer of NASCAR announcers. RIP Ken Squier.
Rest in Peace Ken we will never forget you and your family members. 🙏 ❤️ 💔 😔 💙 😢
Rest in peace Ken. I associate the sound of your voice with something I genuinely enjoy. You brought SO MUCH to our sport. You'll be missed and always loved. 🏁🏁🏁
I listened to him calling races growing up and fighting with my dad over the Sunday afternoon tv who wanted to watch grass grow (Golf)
But I did see "How about that ride?" among many others.
Godspeed Ken
rest in peace ken you was the greatest they is no one can ever replace you you was the best thing for nascar your memory will live on forever
Thank you, Ken Squire. He was great reaction of 1979 Daytona 500 of Cale Yarborough and Bobby Allison's fight. Rest In Peace.
RIP Ken - thank you for everything
Baseball had Vince Scully, Football had John Madden, Nascar had Ken Squier...thank you for the wonderful memories.....RIP...
R I P Ken Squire ..one of the most iconic voices in sports
Amazing broadcaster.
Proof that you don’t have to be anywhere near a race car to have a massive impact on the sport of auto racing. Thanks for everything, Ken.
RIP GALLANT KEN SQUIER YOUR VOICE WILL LIVE ON FOREVER!
Ken Squire set the standard for broadcasting races! Current and future broadcasters you have some "big shoes to fill" . You can do it, take the time to listen to some or all of his broadcasts!
Race in peace, greatest announcer auto racing has ever had
Catamount and ken gone but never forgotten miss you both
God Speed Sir !! 🫡
No one did it better than Ken😢 RIP
Art Eckman,Ken Squire…Thank You🏁🔥
R.ip Mr.Ken Squier yes absolutely was golden gospel voice of NASCAR first broadcast race I remember him victory lane driver was Truck Series' race in 97 & last broadcast did was when NASCAR came back in NBC sports in 2015-17 throwback weekend Darlington
If you were alive to hear Kenley Dean Squire call a race live on television or radio, consider yourself among the lucky ones who got to witness the standard being set before your eyes and ears. There will NEVER be another Ken Squire. Rest in eternal peace, Ken.
The best announcer in any sport.
Ken Squier the voice of NASCAR’s golden age.
REST IN PEASE KEN WE ALL WILL MISS YOU
God Bless,R.I.P. Racer
He quoted Jim Shepherd (I think) in the 98 Daytona 500 saying: if horse racing is the sport of kings, auto racing - this dangerous and sometimes brutal game - is the sport of friends.
Today, Nascar lost one of it's greatest friends and it's most impactful ambassador
Catamount and ken gone but never forgotten miss you both 😂
Ken Squirer was the Pat Summerall of NASCAR He’ll be missed by everyone
Rip Kenley Dean Squier, you will be missed
