Doug Rice, a renowned broadcaster with PRN, is marking his final season by achieving a significant milestone in his career. For decades, Rice has been the lead voice for PRN, which airs races at Speedway Motorsports tracks. In a special gesture of cross-network collaboration, MRN, which broadcasts NASCAR-owned track events, invited Rice to call about 10 laps of the Daytona 500. This opportunity allows Rice to add the Daytona 500 to his illustrious list of marquee events called, which includes the Indy 500 and the Coke 600, under the hashtag #DougsLastLap. The move was celebrated by colleagues and fans alike, highlighting Rice's impact on motorsports broadcasting.
Loving me some @Riceman61 calling the #Daytona500 right now on @MRNRadio. Hell of a way to start #DougsLastLap 🐐
So cool hearing @PRNLive's Doug @Riceman61 call a few laps of the #Daytona500 on @MRNRadio as part of Riceman's final year on the mic. Love this.
Hearing @Riceman61 right now on the #DAYTONA500 call… great stuff! @MRNRadio
If you switch over to the radio broadcast, Doug Rice is about to call his first laps in the Daytona 500. Congrats, @Riceman61!
Cool thing about to happen on MRN -- Doug Rice, who has been the lead voice of PRN for decades, is going to get to call about 10 laps. The Daytona 500 is the only marquee event he has never done and this is his last year. Cool move by a competitor.
.@Riceman61 is ready to roll with @MRNRadio! #DougsLastLap #Daytona500 https://t.co/aFYgFTccau
The great @Riceman61 of @PRNlive (which airs races at the Speedway Motorsports tracks) is in his final season. His friends at @MRNRadio (NASCAR-owned tracks) invited him to call a few laps of the Daytona 500 today. He will then have called Daytona, Indy 500 and the Coke 600! https://t.co/zSc0ICTYYO
So awesome seeing this guy last night. One of the best to call a race (and a mentor to me). @AllenBestwick https://t.co/iVODJw3dUu
