BRAD BAKER
Baker's was a unique style in which
he never looked like he was going fast
until you saw the stopwatch.
analysis as a commentator of Fans Choice for
the AFT Championship.
"Having Indian behind me has been amaz-
ing," Baker says. "They stuck behind me with
my last year of my contract and gave me the
job to mentor both Briar and Bronson, so
that's been really cool. Then I commentate for
AFT. I'm always up in the booth. I got a great
view of the racetrack, so instead of going back
and forth and talking to them [Bronson and
Briar Bauman] I just text them what I'm seeing.
That's one thing about the teams: you can go
up and watch in the stands or some shitty area
where you can't really see the racetrack all that
well, but I can see it really good, and I can see
what other people are doing.
"Then, I advise AFT on how things that are
going on in the program as far as track prep and
what they're doing. I give them feedback on what
I think they could have done to make the show
run smoother. So, really, I've got three jobs."
