Dave Despain
has been inducted into the
Hot Shoe Hall of Fame
November 14, 2023
From public address announcing to radio, then from radio to television, Dave Despain's media career spanned nearly half-a-century, much of it devoted to increasing exposure for motorcycle racing. "I wanted very much to be a racer," Despain says, "but quickly realized I was a whole lot better at describing racing than actually doing it myself. It was an honor to contribute in a small way to the careers of so many big stars."
