Kurt Hansen ...... "It's always been a not so hidden passion"
Posted on September 05 2025
How did you start racing?
I think it's always been a not so hidden passion. Way back when I was Ski Racing around the world I always followed Motorsports. With all my racing knowledge, being a driver, team owner, and PR Guy, I figured it was time to jump in!

Tell us about you?
Having raced on many levels, I missed the driving aspect and saw broadcasting as a way back into the driver's seat. Racing is my passion and if I could not drive anymore, I wanted to get as close as I could get.
I'm now a National Television and ESPN Radio Host - I have announced: Champ Car, Indy Car, World of Outlaws, NHRA, ASCS Sprint Cars, Flo ESPN Speed NBC and CBS Television, SCCA National Runoffs, Altitude Television Drag Racing, and We Rock Off-Road and Rock Crawling.
