Rubenโs story in racing started young. He began announcing at dirt tracks as a kid and went on to build his career through the Southwest and national dirt-racing scene.
By 2023, he had taken over as the announcer for the World of Outlaws Late Models.

The slide through the corner.
The battle for the lead.
The checkered flag.
The celebration in Victory Lane.
