Common thread was discipline, sacrifice & work ethic. Mr H lived in rat infested $100/mo rental house, Chad slept in car to meet Ray E at dawn, Jimmy handed out business cards & slept on sofa @ R Hornadays house. All 3 had few friends & little luck, but also they refused quit🏁

Beautiful family, wonderful speech and amazing career! We should all feel so blessed to have witnessed it all!
I can't wait to see the next chapter for you as car owner.
All the best my friend.

You have been absolutely amazing w your work ethic & coverage over years. I remember walking out of garage on a Sunday evening after a long Cup race only to see you hustling to talk to drivers, crewmen/officials “live” on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Ch. 90). We’d all tune in on way airport. So sad🏁

Shocking news, so very sad. Had pleasure of doing 2003 Indy 500 & watching his joy in celebration; also blessed to have special times w him later as my broadcast partner at Indy.
Deepest sympathies to his family. Thoughts & prayers for peace & comfort in this time of loss.

Thank you my friend. Those were frightening moments for us all. So glad it worked out in the end. Thankfully God had a plan for Ernie, that kept him with us.

Thank you for the very kind words. Our little team was special in so many ways; and yes, I miss those days as well. Thanks for remembering us.

What an amazing career! What an incredible warrior on the field and remarkable human being off of it!
This young man deserves any and all end of the season awards that come his way!

Me too! What a treasure he is! It’s so heartwarming to see the love & respect you two have for each other. Sure wish College GameDay & our ole buddy Jimmy could record some of those stories to play back in perpetuity as stories from the CV (Corso Vault). Save the treasure 4ever

Don’t think I’ve seen a player w his size, speed, physicality & intensity in a long time. Also, when you hear his story of sacrifice & determination to overcome injuries, he’s even that much more impressive. Well done Nagurski Trophy committee, this warrior epitomizes toughness.

Well said Mike! Every one of Ken’s words had depth & meaning. That’s why he chose them so wisely & refused to use them too often. He often advised “good announcers know what to say; but great announcers know when to shut up”. He’d say “give it a rest”. Now, may u RIP my friend🏁
