Greg Creamer Joins GRIDLIFE Live for GRIDLIFE Mid-Summer Meet
Lexington, OH -
The voice covering GRIDLIFE Touring Cup (GLTC) and GRIDLIFE TrackBattle Time Attack will sound a little different at GRIDLIFE Mid-Summer Meet at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, August 6th-8th, 2021. Behind the microphone will be legendary motorsports announcer Greg Creamer, who has provided play-by-play and radio commentary for IndyCar, IMSA, Ferrari Challenge, SRO Motorsports America, and the SCCA, among others. Greg has also worked on the FOX Sports broadcast team at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for over a decade. While each GLTC race at Mid-Ohio will last less than 24 minutes and occur entirely in the daytime, the excitement and purity of grassroots road racing remains a spectacle, amplified by one of the great voices of motorsports commentary.
GRIDLIFE’s sixth points round in the 2021 season marks a return to one of America’s classic road courses - Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, built in 1962 in Lexington, Ohio. The first GLTC race ever was held there in the spring of 2019, a weekend in which Aaron Leichty and future 2020 season champion Eric Kutil would race door to door to be the first to win (a battle which Kutil would win by yards). Kutil went on to win 3 of 4 races at Mid-Ohio the following year, and remains a favorite despite not winning a race since COTA in February. The Andy Smedegard Motorsports duo of Tom O’Gorman and Smedegard come into Mid-Summer Meet as hot as ever; the team has not lost a single Touring Cup round that they’ve entered this season. O’Gorman’s first racing memories are from Mid-Ohio, with his hometown of Mason, Ohio just two hours away. The field will be over 40 drivers deep for GLTC’s third appearance at Mid-Ohio, with the same diversity and competition seen at every round so far this season.
GRIDLIFE Touring Cup and GRIDLIFE TrackBattle action will be live on YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook on August 6th and 7th, with one of the legendary voices of motorsport calling the action.
