Rest in Peace, Bob. He’s left a lasting legacy in the minds of millions of racing fans. ❤️
He sadly passed away today due to brain cancer. May he rest in peace. He'll most certainly be remembered for years to come.
The best announcer NASCAR ever had. Rest in peace Bob.
And Indycar
and dont forget IMSA @@DixytheGoat9
Bruh I was born in the wrong era...
Bob Jenkins commentating was just gold
Bob Jenkins needs to be in NASCAR hall of fame
Alongside Ken Squire too!
@Kevin Nix Bob Jenkins basically made NASCAR and in a case Indycar for what it is at this point in time when it comes to announcing... That time in the 1980s and 1990s made those two motorsports legendary.
Not only should Bob get the Squier-Hall Award, but he should get it twice alongside Benny Parsons and Ned Jarrett for becoming the never-to-be-matched benchmark of announcing greatness.
my favorite bob jenkins line was when craven had his crash at dega:
" oh shit."
He got that out JUST BEFORE the live feed cut back in.
Where do you find it

Welcome
September 4, 1947 - today, August 9, 2021. Rest In Peace.
RIP. One of the best
Bob Jenkins, Benny Parsons and Ned Jarrett. Are to this day the golden standard for me when it comes to NASCAR announcers.
And Dr. Jerry Punch in the pits. Loved watching the old ESPN races as a kid.
Coming back after just hearing about his passing. RIP Bob Jenkins.
What happened and what was the COD?
He was great,RIP BoB
@@f1champ551 cancer
@@owenlang1419Brain cancer I think. Just like his wife.
"And Jeff Gordon is about to write his name in the racing history books. Years from today when 79 stock car races have been run here, we'll rememeber the name Jeff Gordon!" Amazing call.
R.I.P Mr Jenkins. You are a legend,sir.
Rest In Peace Bob Jenkins. Godspeed.
He passed away today from cancer. R.I.P I am sure he is calling races in heaven. We will miss you Bob. You are my favorite announcer along with Jerry Punch. Thanks for calling the NASCAR Races Bob.
Jenkins, Mike Joy, Allen Bestwick, and Ken Squier are the absolute best of the best.
BP too
I grew up in the 90s and Bob Jenkins was literally one of the best of all time in the booth.
Coming here after hearing the news of Bob's passing. Without that voice, I'm not sure I'm the motorsports fiend that I am today.
Thank you, Bob. Hope you're calling the race of your dreams up there.
"Bob Jenkins.. here he comes the checkered flag is out, Bob Jenkins wins at life"🏁
Bob passed away today at the age of ‘73. May he Rest In Peace....
Bob’s best moment was at Sonoma when Joe Nemechek crashed the Burger King car and Bob said he was in a “ Whopper of an accident” 🤣. I’ll never forget that. 😁
That was actually Eli Gold.
*NOTE:* Eli was notorious for that "Whopper of a hit" quote when a Burger King car crashes, especially one particular time at New Hampshire... If Bob ever used that sane line, I'm not aware of it.
Years ago when Bob retired from TV announcing, surprisingly only 2 tribute videos were done: 1 by NBC Sports Network, & 1 by me.
Glad that after nearly 9 years there's an upgraded alternate version of my video. Thank you.
Bob Jenkins is the TRUE GOAT of all racing announcers!
Did ESPN do anything? He worked there for 24 years.
@@ethanweeter2732 He was remembered on SportsCenter.
That's all I know, but given how ESPN is today, I'm happy they did that.
Here after he passed away, Rest In Peace to a broadcasting legend.
Rest in peace Bob Jenkins 1947-2021
Rest In Peace Bob. What a good commentator.
Rest in Peace Bob
Sadly we lost the great man today, RIP Bob Jenkins
RIP to a legend!! He passed away today
Rest In Peace Bob. Thank you for everything
Rip Bob Jenkins..
You introduced me to Nascar as a 5 year old kid and called Dale Earnhardt's 50th career win.
You will be missed
R.I.P Bob…..
Thank you for being a legendary Motorsports commentator!
Bob Jenkins “the voice of Winston Cup”
May he Rest In Peace; haven’t watched
NASCAR since about 2004;but followed closely from 79 until then. Had to come listen to this after hearing of his passing. Maybe I’ll go watch a VHS tape of one of Terry Labontes wins and reminisce some more. Feel like I just lost a friend I never actually met.
I'd add ken squier to that list too

**Sees Notification of nascarman Video on Bob Jenkins** Breaks mouse with megaclick
May he Rest in Peace, the voice of a generation and please get him in The Nascar Hall of Fame now.
After his passing, I think he'll get into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in the next induction pool
The man is the kind of energetic and smooth commentator you expect to only see in movies
Rest in Peace Bob Jenkins. Best racing annoucer besides Murray Walker of all time.
I wholeheartedly 200% agree Murray Walker and Bob Jenkins were THE best.
Bob Jenkins was a versatile broadcaster. He did IMSA, Formula 1, USAC, indycar, and most notably NASCAR.
RIP Bob. Always the voice of NASCAR's Golden era. 1947-2021
Paul Page and Bob Jenkins ar my favorite racing broadcasters to this day.
Bob had so many electric calls over the years, but Davey and DJ at Michigan in '91 and the '93 Winston 500 give me goosebumps every damn time I hear them...
Rest In Peace Bob
Sad day
AND BOTH OF THEM SPIN!!!.....Classic call by Bob Jenkins! I was watching that race and my heart sank to my stomach because Dale Sr would've taken the points lead and possibly the 1989 championship win a win that day! RIP Bob Jenkins, you will always be the voice of NASCAR in my opinion!
Was lucky enough to work with Bob last year, what a great commentator, and an even better person. I'll cherish that day for the rest of my life.
May a god of his craft rest in peace
RIP Bob Jenkins. You will me missed.
Hearing Bob Jenkins commentate motorsports is like having a bowl of chicken soup at Grandma's house... just makes you feel warm inside with great memories.
RIP Bob Jenkins, a broadcasting legend.
Big loss today to the NASCAR world. One of the best voices that will not be soon forgotten!
*Wally Dallenbach finishes watching this video*
"That was good stuff"
Kyle Petty finishes watching this video: “that’s incredible.”
Thank you for giving this man his flowers while we still have him here
Absolutely agree with you
Damn, this hurts.
@@Mrzco damn I saw this and feared the worst. RIP Bob Jenkins
Ol Bob Jenkins, the voice of ESPN Speedworld and most of the IROC races of the past.
It is crazy how engrained Bob Jekins is in my life.....Every Sunday it seems he was calling a NASCAR race....I didn’t know he got his start in Indycar til much much later.....He is really the gold standard of play by play racing announcers
One of the best voices of NASCAR.I think back,thirty years ago when he was on ESPN ,how much his voice will be missed.May he rest in peace
I'm 43 and literally grew up with Bob Jenkins in my house.
He is one of the best.
Great memories watching all those races with my later father.
I’m the same age as you. You know u watched Speedweek on espn
same age as you. I can blame my love for the sport due Bob, Benny, Ned, Paul page, uncle bobby, and Derek Daly
@@4aj14camracing9 I remember I use record that every week
Rip Legend
Rest in peace, fly high
RIP Bob 🏁🏁🏁 thanks for the countless amount of racing memories with you’re voice
Bob Jenkins, Ned Jarrett, and old BP were part of my childhood growing up. If anyone deserves to be in the HOF, Bob Jenkins is that guy. Next to Ken squier, there was no one better on Television. Barney Hall will always be the GOAT on radio
I just loved Bob Jenkins’ smooth as silk delivery and his unbridled enthusiasm when calling a great finish! He lived and breathed Motorsports. R.I.P., sir...
The thing I liked most about Bob was when he called a race it was like he was sitting on the couch beside you. He was a real fan, a true professional.
I can honestly close my eyes and still hear “ESPN! The worldwide leader in sports, and the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing welcome you live to (track name)!!” all these years later. Bob Jenkins belongs on the Mount Rushmore of broadcasters with Ken Squier and Barney Hall
Definitely should be listed with another legend, Ken Squier!
heres the checkered flag for alan !!...hes the champion for 92 !! legendary call !!
Rip legend
We lost him too soon. A talented race announcer and, by the accounts of the people who were near to him, a supremely decent person, who encouraged and cultivated people in his profession.
To me he was the "Voice of NASCAR". RIP Bob Jenkins.
Thank you so much for posting this, exactly what I needed after learning of Bob's passing today after a courageous battle with brain cancer. The Bob/Benny/Ned booth/family had as much to do with the growth of NASCAR in the 80s and 90s as any driver and his Indy radio calls are legendary. He absolutely should've already been in the NASCAR Hall of Fame. RIP Bob.
Had the privilege of meeting Bob briefly at the Gateway IndyCar race in 2019. Great man and a consummate professional. Best wishes to him in his cancer fight.
Bob Jenkins, Ned Jarrett and Benny Parsons will ALWAYS be the absolute best NASCAR broadcast team, in my opinion.
RIP Bob.
RIP to a great one
I won’t lie I saw this and immediately googled his name. Gave me a heart attack thinking we lost Mr Indianapolis
You as well? Hopefully he lives for many more years even if he's semi retired now. Bob is one of those iconic voiceslegend t
Well it happened sadly we did lose him :(
Bob, Ned, and Benny were the voices of Nascar for me growing up and of course his role in the call of the 92 500 finish is ingrained in my memory forever!
We all miss you so much already Bob you'll always be the voice of NASCAR in my mind RIP
Who else played with their Nascar diecast cars saying "At the line, who wins it??!"
Allllllllllll the time (90s baby)
RIP Bob Jenkins . Thanks for the racing memories
Rest In Peace Bob Jenkins. We’ll miss you.
One of the best in the business all time. Gonna miss him dearly. RIP Bob Jenkins
So underrated. Never here him talked about but he’s my all time favorite. Didn’t have to scream and yell to get his excitement across. And seems like an absolute gentleman. Deserves his rightful spot in the HOF. Sooner than later before his sickness takes him. Doesn’t seem to be embraced at large by nascar for whatever reason. It’s a shame.
... 💔
God speed, Bob. For so many who grew up on NASCAR in the 90s you were one of its strongest voices. You will be dearly missed as you have been since the end of 2000. RIP.
I grew up as a kid in the 90s listening to ol Bob Jenkins on ESPN. Such an energetic voice he had back then.
Clicked on this video so fast. Bob Jenkins is a legend.
RIP, Bob. You’ll be sorely missed
He needs to be in the NASCAR Hall of Fame because his contributions in broadcasting were aspiring and unique.
R.I.P. Mr Jenkins, you've forever left an impression on this guy! Bob Jenkins and Ken Squire the best of all time!!!
Thanks for the memories Bob.
His voice was NASCAR and Indy to me. Fond memories of hearing him call races while I rooted for Jimmy Spencer. I remember watching Speed Vision before bed when I was a kid, they'd replay sports car racing out of Europe. So many great times back in the 90's and early 2000's. What a time to be alive, and thank you to everyone from Bob Jenkins to Murray Walker for the memories. The races simply wouldn't be the same being called by anyone else.
R.I.P Bob Jenkins :(
Bob Jenkins' voice brings so much nostalgia and reminds me of many afternoons watching races with my dad!
So enthusiastic on every call no matter the series and brought so much to every race he'll be truly missed
RIP a true motorsports and commentary legend
R.I.P LEGEND
No words. We lost Bob today. (8/9/21) The ESPN booth only has one member left.
Rip legend! 😞❤️
As a NASCAR fan some of my earliest memories are of Bob Jenkins, Benny Parsons and Ned Jarrett doing races on ESPN. They were a tremendous team and Bob Jenkins had a very smooth and energetic style and it was perfect for broadcasting NASCAR. I have fond memories of his work on ESPN, that's for sure.
Im 42 and grew up in Bristol. Nascar was my entire life and hobby as a kid. Bob's voice is imprinted in my brain and was in the top 2 Nascar commentators. We listened to the radio alot on Sundays so the MRN crew is #1 for me.
RIP to arguably the best NASCAR Announcer ever.
Bob Jenkins, Larry Rice and Jason Priestly. Couldn't have more fun.
One of the best to ever do it. Loved watching any race he called. He was interesting and it never felt manufactured. You could see his genuine interest in the sport.
If Bob Jenkins ain't in the NASCAR Hall of Fame then it's illegitimate.
RIP, Bob.
God speed to a legend.
Watching these classic races, I would definitely consider the 1990s ESPN crew of Bob Jenkins, Ned Jarrett, Benny Parsons, Jerry Punch and John Kernan my personal NASCAR dream team commentator crew.
And I see I'm not the only one that saw this in the updates and feared the worst
RIP Bob Jenkins. A broadcasting legend in Motorsports!
RIP Bob Jenkins, best play by play race announcer ever. Still miss Benny Parsons too😢
Bob Jenkins is kinda like the Murray Walker of NASCAR.
