執行緒： 湯姆卡內基 RIP

剛得知湯姆 - 卡耐基（ Tom Carnegie ）為印第 500 號播音員播音員死亡。 享年 91歲 卡內基，他的直呼聲音（我還能聽到 Heees 在我腦中的聲音），在我的腦海裡，叫做 61 直印第安納波利斯 500s， 12 個布里克碼 400s 和 6 個美國大獎賽。 很抱歉，他沒有讓它看到今年的 500 周年紀念日。

一些顯著的引號：

Mari Hulman George （董事會主席， InIndianapolis Motor Speedway 公司） ）：對於印第安納波利斯賽車場和全世界熱愛湯姆卡耐基的人來說，這是一個很悲傷的日子。 數百萬從未見過湯姆的車迷仍然覺得他們知道他是因為他的獨特聲音和對 Speedway 的熱情，以及它的事件和它的人。 湯姆在賽道上關心每個人，不管是第四次的 Indianapolis 500 得主，還是參加練習賽的年輕球迷。 他為 IMS提供了 61 年最偉大的時刻的配樂，他永遠不會被遺忘。 湯姆是浩曼 - 喬治家族四代的好友，我們將會懷念他。

Jeff Belskus 公司（ InIndianapolis Motor Speedway 公司總裁兼執行長） ）：在印第安納波利斯賽車場的每個人都對湯姆 - 卡耐基的逝世深感悲痛。 傳說中的術語有時會被過度使用，但它絕對適合湯姆，是 Speedway 歷史上最受人喜愛和最著名的人物之一。 他不僅僅是億萬球迷的聲音 他是他們在賽道上的聲音，他是其中之一。 他們對賽車運動和熱愛它的人充滿了感染力，他的戲劇性、著名的短語如新的 ... 記錄！和 Heeeeeees ，都顯示出他對賽車的強烈熱愛。 永遠不會有另一個湯姆 - 卡耐基，而他將永遠被銘記。

Just learned that Tom Carnegie, the legendary public address announcer for the Indy 500, has died. He was 91. Carnegie, with his unmistakable baritone voice (I can still hear Heees on it! in my head) called 61 straight Indianapolis 500s, 12 Brickyard 400s and six United States Grands Prix. Sorry to say he didnt make it to see the 100th anniversary of the 500 this year.

Some notable quotes:

Mari Hulman George (Chairman of the Board, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp. ): This is a very sad day for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and everyone worldwide who loved Tom Carnegie. Millions of race fans who never met Tom still felt as if they knew him because of his distinctive voice and his passion for the Speedway, its events and its people. Tom cared about everyone at the track, whether it was a four-time Indianapolis 500 winner or a young fan attending a practice day. He provided the soundtrack for the greatest moments of 61 years at IMS, and he never will be forgotten. Tom was a dear friend of four generations of the Hulman-George family, and we will miss him dearly.

Jeff Belskus (President and Chief Executive Officer, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp. ): Everyone at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is deeply saddened by the passing of Tom Carnegie. The term legend sometimes is overused, but it absolutely fits Tom, one of the most beloved and renowned figures in Speedway history. He was more than just a voice for millions of race fans. He was their voice at the track; he was one of them. Toms enthusiasm for motorsports and those who loved it was infectious, and his dramatic, famous phrases such as Its a new … track … record! and Heeeeeees on it! showed his deep passion for racing. There never will be another Tom Carnegie, and he will be remembered forever.
