The January Chowder Meeting will take place, as usual, on the second Tuesday of the month.  In this case, the 13 of January.   As always we will meet at the Chowder club house, Sardi’s at the usual time.  NOON

Our speaker is Leigh Diffey.  Leigh Diffey is likely one of the best known  auto racing and track and field commentators in the world . He is best known for being the lead play-by-play announcer for much of NBC Sports‘ motorsports coverage, currently calling NASCAR Cup Series, IMSA sports car races for the network and AMA Supercross. Before this, he was the lead voice of NBC’s Formula One and IndyCar Series coverage. Diffey has also worked play-by-play for NBC’s coverage of the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, most notably becoming the network’s lead track and field sportscaster prior to the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Diffey’s broadcasting career began by calling motorcycle races in his home country. His career has included stints with Network Ten in Australia and the BBC in the United Kingdom covering various forms of motorsport. In the United States, Diffey joined Speed Channel in 2003 before moving to NBC when Formula One’s US television rights were transferred to the network in 2013.

He is looking forward to an interactive session with Chowderheads and will be happy to answer questions.
