I don’t know about others, but I’m thankful you were able to sit down with Ken for this interview. Well done Andrew and thank you for this excellent piece.
There are only a few people in my book who set the standard for what a reporter/historian is. Ken Squier is one of those people and to say thank you just doesn't quite cut it because he will be greatly missed.
On par with losing Dale Earnhardt .... today , we lost THE GREATEST BROADCASTER in motorsports !! The THRILLS / EXCITMENT / FUN this man brought to every single race he called is his greatest gift to us all !!! I waited all winter to get to the DAYTONA 500 every yr so i could spend 3 hrs of glory hanging on every word Ken said !!! Thank_you Ken for every race you enhanced with your spectacular brand of play by play !!! Rest In Peace !!! ❤💯
We lost a story teller who could make you feel like you were in the stands and not in your living room. I could listen to him talk all day about anything and everything. Rest In Peace Mr. Squier and thank you 🙏🏼 for your humble soul. 💙
RIP Sir there are only a few people who's voice I recognize with NASCAR you Benny Parsons and Ned Jarrett thank you again for all of those wonderful years.....
I could listen to him tell stories forever. There are a lot of raw satellite feed races out there on youtube and i really do implore everyone to watch some of them if you haven't. Hearing him work behind the scenes is wonderful and we were truly blessed. I'm grateful that younger generations will continue to hear Ken's voice.
Every single memory that I have of NASCAR & motorsport in general from when I was a kid has the voice of Ken Squire as a soundtrack. He was a huge part of racing getting in my blood. Without exception Mr Squire was always the classiest and most thoroughly informed voice at the track. My heart breaks with the thought that we will likely soon lose this man. Ordinarily I’m not one to cry very easily or very often. But I’m welling up even writing this… I’m pretty sure I’m going to break with the news. Thank you for narrating the countless wonderful memories that I have of motorsport, sir. I’m sure you have a million friends, but in my mind you truly have no peers. You were the unmatchable standard. May the Lord bless you and keep you, Ken Squire. You, your family, as well as the countless who adore you… are in my prayers. 🙏🏼🥲
50LBS cameras, now they can make them so small you don't even see them. It is shocking the amount technology has changed specifically in the last 100 120 years. What a time to be alive.
my first memory from Ken Squier 1997 Daytona 500. "down the back straightaway big trouble Earnhardt OUT. up and over number 3. and for the nineteenth time lady luck deals a bad hand to Earnhardt..."
This man was responsible for bringing Nascar too CBS sports and to Mainstream media he was in my opinion the greatest announcer ever his words will echoed for years to come in Nascar I have him call some of the greats of this sports and also his words will be missed by all who loved auto racing R.I.P
When people from Ken's generation are gone its gonna be a different time, people like him and my grandpaw and their generations of working people, when they're gone the world is going to be different, people won't know how to survive on their own. I call them the last great generation.
Seems strange now the 2 responsible for keeping racing alive in Vermont are gone. RIP Ken Squier and Tom Curley. Wish I had seen the sprints at the Essex Jct Fair. Catamount Stadium was the local track that i got to enjoy in my late teens before it closed. Ken was there all the time also. The final race at Catamount was a 300 car enduro. You had to squeeze to sit the stands were so packed. Brent Dragon son of Harmond Beaver Dragon was quite comical turning laps on the infield more than the track.
Public radio gets less and less funding, and private radio is constantly gobbled up by monopolies, constantly delievering less and less news. In some places not putting out EAS broadcasts getting people killed driving into dangerous situations unkowingly. Support public and independent radio, call the FCC if someone isnt spreading EAS warnings, and save the lives of drivers.
Really should've had a more experienced interviewer who knew more about Ken doing this. This young man sounds like someone asking questions for a high school paper with no understanding. Nice to hear Ken's stories. See you on the other side Mr. Squier.

I’d like to give a shout out to the sincere respect and professionalism that Andrew showed Ken Squier.
I wish Dale could’ve been given a chance at interviewing him.

Ken Squier was indeed a treasure and was the standard of all NASCAR broadcaster's should be
Grown up listening to him my entire life and this was just great.
Ken Squier is a legend in Nascar racing broadcast and he will be missed 😢 hall of fame fella for sure ❤
Once again Andrew, great interview.
God speed Mr Squier. A true professional.
A true icon of the sports broadcasting world. You will truly be missed Ken ❤
Racer’s for this wonderful man’s soul and all his loved ones… the voice of NASCAR
You were loved and admired Ken. You will never be forgotten 😊
Really enjoying this, but two hours in, the ads are unbearable; will finish the rest later. Nice job, Andrew 👍
That's why you can always read Richard Pettys autograph. He took his time to write it out. People like him are special, they're a dying breed.
Great job...

This man to berod
This man was to broadcast what Dale Sr was to race.
Really should've had a more experienced interviewer who knew more about Ken doing this. This young man sounds like someone asking questions for a high school paper with no understanding. Nice to hear Ken's stories. See you on the other side Mr. Squier.
😭 We lost another great legend , sleep easy Ken💐
Ken Squier, Bob Bahre, Dave Dion, Ricky Craven all part of New England racing over many years. RIP Ken
We have to include Tom Curley. He may have rubbed a lot the wrong way but he knew how to keep racing alive.
