Chris Economaki, R. I. P.

NYTimes.com: Chris Economaki, whose gravelly broadcast voice and prolific pen — specifically, his manual Royal typewriter — narrated the rise of auto racing from county-fair dirt tracks to a global multibillion-dollar business, died on Friday in a nursing home in Wyckoff, N.J. He was 91.

Hat tip to Jeff Meyerson.

I always thought that was a great name for an announcer. It kind of rolls off the tongue.
