In a series of social media posts, Dave Moody, host of Sirius XM Speedway, shared concerning details about Squier’s health. Moody revealed that Ken, unfortunately, couldn’t attend a recent event, and his family has indicated that he is likely in his final days.

Despite facing these hurdles, Squier was on the road to recovery until another medical issue arose.

Fellow honorees Mike Joy, Dr. Dick Berggren, Jack Arute, and Alan Bestwick shared great stories about Squier at the event. Despite his absence, mixed emotions filled the day.
Squier, who called NASCAR races from 1979 to 1999, coined the term ‘Great American Race’ for the annual Daytona 500. As he approaches his final days, the NASCAR community reflects on his significant contributions and the lasting legacy he leaves behind.
