Bob Jenkins 1947 - 2021

 

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

 

RIP, Bob....

 

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.

 

R.I.P. Mister Jenkins.

 

Sincere sympathy goes out to his immediate Family and friends. Plus, his racing family, friends and fans

 

Always his commentary! Farewell, Bob Jenkins.

 

RIP

 

the great ones...who will fill their shoes...condolences...

 

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.

 

Legendary and highly respected. One of racings all- time great voices. Locally around Indy we called him Bitchin Bob Jenkins.

 

R.I.P.

 

saw that yesterday.. RIP Bob Jenkins

 

Darn it. Bob Jenkins and now Robin Miller.

 

Prayers to Family

 

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 attitude and professionalism.

 

What's really depressing is that everyone that has passed lately is younger than I am.

 

You are OK as long as you are still reading about them.
