He's actually a better announcer than Paul Page I must say.

He's out here announcing the US Pro Stock Open at MIR. I never liked the way they use him on ESPN. But, I think he'd be better than Paul Page. Paul's improved, but Lewis knows what he's talking about.

Think it's the trees at Budds Creek...

seriously, sometimes I think Lewis has forgotten more than most will ever know... and yeah, it's people like Lewis that make people like Paul look as good as they do...

FWIW, I love the way they use Lewis on the ESPN broadcasts.

Are Lewis and Bob Frey related? They just seem to favor each other and have the same vocal tone. Just curious!

Sort of...they are both from New Jersey and both have been announcing drag racing in the Northeast since Fred Flintstone drove a Top Fueler.

Lewis is a good announcer and knows his stuff, the ESPN show would be lost without stats from Lewis and Frey.

Curious, got any numbers from today?

Everything's been in the 6 second range so far. They just ended 2nd round qualifying.

Lewis was at raceway park nj for as long as I have been going there. I started going in the later 70's and raced in the 80's and early 90's. Lewis is a hell of a photo guy. Just ask him about pic's and you think he knows alot about drag racing... WOW he knows photos. Check this out.

If I am not mistaken, Lewis graduated from the School of Visual Arts in NYC. He is VERY good at making images.

Paul Page does his best. I think people should give him a break.
