A major loss in the world of NASCAR<\/a> was announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Longtime broadcaster Bill Weber died Dec. 13, and the organization kept his death private until recently.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Weber was 67.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The National Motorsports Press Association is saddened to learn of the passing of former NASCAR broadcaster and pit reporter Bill Weber,” the organization wrote on X<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NASCAR fans<\/a> were shocked at the news of Weber\u2019s death as it began circulating online.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Man\u2026this is a sad email to get today from my friends at the @NMPAonline,” one X user wrote. “Bill Weber, to me was such an iconic NASCAR voice of my childhood, specifically with his role in what is my all-time favorite NASCAR video game, NASCAR 2005. RIP Bill Weber.”<\/p>\n

Weber rose through the ranks of NASCAR broadcasting to the point he was the lap-by-lap caller at NBC, beginning in 2004, where he was quickly embraced by the sport’s fan base.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Weber was known for some of the most memorable calls in the sport during his time in the booth, including Tony Stewart\u2019s second Cup Series championship in 2005.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He retired in 2009 as a NASCAR broadcaster, though there was no reason disclosed. Weber spent time working as an illusionist after his career in broadcasting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ralph Sheheen replaced Weber at NBC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Weber\u2019s broadcasting career spanned NBC, ESPN and TNT, and he was known as a fan favorite because of his “Ask Bill Weber a Question” online, where fans could ask about anything on or off the track.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The National Motorsports Press Association noted there will be an online memorial for Weber at a later date. \u00a0<\/p>\n
