    I read about the sad new yesterday, I always enjoyed his cometary when he worked a race. With all the bad announcers the media has now and has had during the years Mr. Jenkins stood out as a well versed, intelligent and enjoyable. RIP Mr. Jenkins

    I met Bob when ESPNII aired my race car series in '95. He drove one of my cars in a Celebrity Race. Just a great person. He will be missed.

    I met Bob once when he was with ESPN at a sprint car race at Winchester, Indiana. I was working track crew. What a nice, down to earth guy. RIP Bob.

    A nice thing about Robin Miller is that he wasn't just an interviewer, he
    was a fan of cars, racers and racing and didn't try to hide it.

    Bob Jenkins didn't try to kill you with his racing knowledge and stats.
    You had to admire his at***ude and professionalism.

    What's really depressing is that everyone that has p***ed lately is younger than I am.:(
