For over 40 years, Kevin Boucher has been part of the family at Seekonk Speedway. From his first job as a runner for lineups to today, Saturday’s have been spent at The Action Track of the East. As a young fan, and the son of championship car owner Ernie Boucher, the passion has overflowed since the early days. He has worked in various forms through his youth. Selling programs in his early teens, to working on the wrecker crew for several years, working in the novelty stand, and then into the announcers booth. In addition, Kevin has been Race Director and Pit Steward, giving him an insight into the behind the scenes part of race night, helping him bring that insight to his style of announcing. He was behind the Wall of Fame from the beginning, honoring the men and women who built the foundation of the Seekonk Speedway. He was part of the 60 Years of Stars that celebrated the 60th anniversary of the track in 2005. For 30 years, he has been the man on the mic, entertaining the fans with his conversationalist style. His knowledge of the history of the speedway and its competitors and teams has been a big part of his style, making sure they aren’t forgotten. His relationships with the fans and the teams are what continues to drive him to putting his heart into his job each week.
