Received word that Mike Meurer passed away today after suffering a massive heart attack while visiting family and friends in California.

Mike will be missed tremendously by the racing community...

He is one of the greatest track announcers in the country and we've enjoyed his announcing for so many years primarily at Belle-Clair Speedway & I-55 Raceway... He also announced at many other places over the years. He was affectionately known on here and around the STL racing community as "The Talker Guy"

I considered him a true friend...

Thoughts & prayers to his wife Tina and all of his family and friends!
 
Words cannot express.... such a shock and heartbreak. God Speed Mike...it will never be the same without you

Thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Wow...just shocked to see this. He was the best and I'm not sure racing will be the same around here without him. Rest in peace Mr. Muerer.
 
I'm just in complete shock. We have lost one of the best voices in ALL of motorsports, but more importantly a good man. RIP Talker Guy!! We will miss seeing you and hearing you call the races and entertain us.
 
I am devastated. My deepest condolences to Tina and the entire family. Racing will not be the same for me ever again. We have lost one of the greats and a dear friend. RIP Mike.
