Growing up in the 60's if it was racing there was the distinctive voice of Chris E! He was the voice of many different forms of racing and we all learned from his insight and his pit reports. My favorite was after the then World 600 in charlotte on memorial day weekend. It was ran during the day time then and the temps in the upper 90's. Although the race ran at a all time record then one announcer who stayed in the A/C the whole race said that maybe they will increase the distance next year! Chris never missed a beat and said if they did they would be doing the race without him. Chris a class act to the end. He was has been missed from trackside reporting for years now but his memory will always live on!

A huge loss for the motorsporst community. Chris was a real gentleman...and a real journalist...not a driver turned TV guy...A true fan with a passion for racing. RIP....
