Having announced since 1984 in western Pa I have always liked to pass on nicknames to the drivers. Some of the drivers I have tagged are:
The Apollo Rocket - Ed Lynch, Jr
Crankin Craig Rankin
The Kittaning Komet - Rod George
The West Virginia Wild Thing - Mark Cassella
The Wampum Warrior - Jerry Matus
Dan the Man Holtgraver
Kool Kevin Schaffer
Gentleman John Stickley
The Shoefly Flyer - Ron Kramer
The Man from Mifflintown - Keith Kauffman
Lightnin' Mike Lutz
Racin' Ralphie Spithaler
Jamie "The Jet" Smith
Adam "Bomb" Kekich
Magic Mike Kekich
The Baden Bandit - Davey Jones
The Girard Gas Man - Scott Bonnell
Cowboy Brian Steinman
Several other drivers from here have developed their own nicknames, but these are most of the sprint car guys I've dubbed with nicknames.

Great list, heres a couple more:
The "Alaskan Cheesehead" Bill Balog. Earned this by racing sprints in Alaska for several years before moving to WI becoming a 4-time and defending IRA Champion.
The "Crebral Assasin" Travis Whitney
Sorry, but the Crowd Pleaser has always been one of the corniest nicknames I've heard.

As I read through these posts one thought comes immediately to mind. I'm glad that I can't hear the announcer hype from the infield.
