Frontstretch Line of the Week
"I actually don’t really know how I got thought of for this role. But Pam [Miller], who is with CBS, had worked with my dad before in commentating, and she’s worked with a lot of people I know. She’s known me since I was a child. I don’t know how it happened, but I got a call and I said, ‘Absolutely, I’m definitely down to do this.'" - Conor Daly, on how he got his analyst position for the SRX races on CBS.
