The Husqvarna Racing Guy

Pat Patterson, better know as The Racing Guy has been apart of modern day motor sports for more than 25 years and it has taken him everywhere from the drivers seat to the anchor desk. Beginning with the early days of being the public address announcer at a small track in Colorado, to hosting and producing the ground breaking television shows like RaceDay on national cable television and On Pit Road in national syndication Patterson has been there, describing the action and talking to the history makers in motor sports. From NASCAR, to Drag Racing and everything in between Pat's been there!

Radio has always been apart of Pat's life from his first job as a joc for WKZQ in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to his more than 20 years of calling the action on the pit road for the Performance Racing Network (NASCAR) and the Indy Car Radio Network (Indy Cars) to his own nationally syndicated programs, The Racing Guy, and Speedway Spotlight just to name a few.

"These days you can find The Racing Guy at more than 90% of all the NASCAR Sprint Cup Weekends" broadcasting live from the Safety-Kleen Trackside Studio's both the ESPN Saturday RaceDay show and his SIRIUS NASCAR Front Stretch Programs (Saturday and Sundays). These shows keep everyone up to speed on all the action as it happens trackside from Daytona to Homestead. But once the radio is over in the mornings at track, Pat is off to the DIRECT TV HOT PASS Headquarters to call the TV action to hundreds of thousands NASCAR fans across the country and don't forget that on Monday's you'll find the Husqvarna Racing Guy on the air all day chatting with top radio stations from morning to night! And don't forget that you can catch a complete wrap up of the weekend and a preview of the race to come at the ESPN Pod Center each week during the NASCAR season.

Pat made a name for himself in the mid 1990's as a promoter of Live Sprint Car Racing coverage on television with the Slick 50 Sprint Car World Series. This was the first time The World of Outlaws sprint cars had ever been on Live television. This put Patterson in the Sprint Car Hall of Fame as a two time Media Member, and showed a national audience Thunder on Dirt for the very first time !!

Pat not only has talked about racing for most of his life, but has been behind the wheel on many different types of racecars. He was a regular competitor in the NASCAR Dash Series as well as the Southwest Tour. In fact in 1998 he and driving partner/teammate Steve Portenga won the tour championship.
