April 12: If there’s one guy who wears a lot of hats in the industry, it has to be Jason Weigandt. Weege has his hands full, but the guy enjoys what he does for a living. This year, he has been the Supercross Live! announcer, handles Public Relations for the Can-Am GNCC Series, is a Cycle News and Racer X contributor, was the Arenacross TV commentator, and the Daytona Supercross announcer. But even with all the hard work, he still likes to go out and have a good time. You can stay up to date with Weege's daily life via his ever-popular blog, www.blogandt.com.
