If I remember correctly David Hobbs used to do NASCAR races back on CBS. He is one of those guys you either like or don't like. His announcing job on F1 traces its roots back to his work at the Daytona 500 (that and his racing career.)

I enjoy listening to Radio LeMans and John Hindhaugh (ESPN ALMS races) is a wealth of knowledge about the ALMS and Le Mans racing and history. ALMS races would have been better if Speed and now ESPN would have fired the whole announcing crew and put the Radio LeMans team in their place. These guys know this sport and are dedicated to it. Listen to a broadcast online and judge if it is better or worse than the truncated coverage you see on TV.
