As reported by Nick Geddes of ON3, Bill Weber, the former “NASCAR on TNT” broadcaster, passed away Dec. 13, 2024, the National Motorsports Press Association announced Monday.
He was 67.
Weber, born in Middletown, New Jersey, worked for networks such as TNN and ESPN before joining NBC and TNT in 2001 as a pre-race host and pit reporter for their coverage of NASCAR. He soon became the voice of “NASCAR on TNT,” notably calling Jimmie Johnson‘s victory in the 2006 Daytona 500. Weber also called Johnson’s first Cup Series championship that season and three July Daytona races (2005, ’07, ’08). Weber worked in the role until July 2009 when the network replaced him with Ralph Sheheen.
