Jiommy Means is retired and living in Northern Alabama
Larry Nuber died 3-4 years ago after a long battle with cancer
David Hobbs has multiple auto dealerships in Milwaukee. Ocassionally does some announcing
Glen Jarrett works part time for MRN basically a fill-in
Bob Jenkins works for IRL motor sports and does their radio announcing. I heard him last week from Nashville.

Bob Whitcomb...? After he sold the #10 Purolator white/orange Chev I lost all track of him.
Well, that takes care of alot of them, most have actually stayed close by. It's amazing how you can lose track of someone so easily once they drop off the radar.

Never heard about Nuber's passing. He was a great voice at ESPN.

I wonder what could have lead him to Endurance Karting? Never heard of such a thing.
Maybe he has to restart to get the feel of racin. I had heard he had made great strides in his recovery. Maybe his just slowly workin up the chain.

How about Bob Whitcomb who teamed with Derrike Cope for a couple of unlikely wins in 1990.

Then there are a bunch of former crew cheifs, drivers, owners or all of the above that just seemed to disapear. Like Jimmy Makar, Gary DeHart, Kirk Shelmerdine or Jimmy Means?

Finally, some TV guys. I just recently found out that Ken Squier was the PA anmoumcer at NHIS. What are guys like Larry Nuber, David Hobbs and Glenn Jarrett up to?

Also, WHERE IS BOB JENKINS? I'm talking to you ESPN.

Just a few guys I've been wondering. I doubt that alot of them even follow the sport anymore.
I recently saw Glenn Jarrett during a race and he talked of how he's been helping Habitat for Humanity to rebuild the home's in New Orleans.

And I too am a fan of Bob Jenkins and wish that he would come back as well as Dr Jerry Punch .
