"Nobody knows more about its history and the stories behind all the zoom-zoom than David McGee, the award-winning journalist from the Bristol Herald Courier. He is the speedway's senior public address announcer and, according to just about anybody--including the general manager of the speedway--the person with the inside scoop on everything in that world.
