The voice of those famous Raceway Park commercials says he’s sad to see them end drag racing.
Charlie Roberts told WOR’s “Len Berman in the Morning” that it’s become harder to get participants and spectators. He speculated that racing could still continue in some form, but it won’t be open as consistently.
Roberts says he was working at a radio station in Lakewood, New Jersey when he began doing sales and developed a relationship with Raceway Park.
“I’ve never been a big drag racing fan. I even announced there for a year or two,” Roberts said.
