Legendary NASCAR commentator Bill Weber dies aged 67 Stock car racing fans in the United States are mourning the death of longtime NASCAR broadcaster Bill Weber, who passed away at the age of 67.
He spent time as a pit reporter and a studio host with TNN and ESPN in the 1990s before jumping to NBC in the 2001 when the network won the rights to broadcast the sport for the first time.
He was there to cover a race at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in nearby Loudon, but was sent home after the incident and never appeared to call NASCAR races again.
News of Weber's death has only begun circulating now - despite the veteran broadcaster having died back on December 13, 2024.
Weber became NBC's top voice in 2004 when he replaced lead announcer Allen Bestwick for lap-by-lap coverage.
