So incredibly sad :(

He seemed like such a nice guy and he was a great pit reporter.

I hope he was able to enjoy the Bristol Tribute race to him and saw how much he was loved by the NASCAR community.

R.I.P :flag:

Really nice all the support Fox and everyone did the past few weeks. Something a really felt lacking to Benny Parsons (and Bobby Hamilton).

I got to meet Steve a decade ago at Atlanta. A really nice guy, and a great journalist.

May he rest in peace. One of the true great voices of NASCAR.

He was one of NASCAR's best reporters. By all accounts, he was a great guy off camera. He fought his battle with cancer with a tremendous amount of courage and kept a positive attitude throughout his battle. I am glad that he got to see the love from the racing community one last time on Sunday.
