Driver & Car Owner
Bobby Gunther Walsh, driver & owner of the INTERSTATE BATTERIES #1 NASCAR modified has over 33 years experience as an on-air radio & television personality. In addition to Gunther’s morning show being broadcast on AM 790 weekdays from 5-9 AM, he is also simulcast on Service Electric Cable TV – dial position 50 and on Blue Ridge Cable Digital 113. You can also listen at WAEB.com and now through iHeart radio, you can hear his morning show on your i-Phone, Blackberry or i-Pad.
In 2009 Bobby ran his first season at Penn Can Speedway. He won two heat races, made all but two features, and considered it a good first year. In 2010 he made all but one feature, won two heat races and finished 14th in points. Penn Can is where he is having the most fun and the most success racing and he is really looking forward to a third season.
At the extremely competitive Grandview Speedway, Bobby had his second best year ever in 2009, and to top it off made the Forrest Roger’s memorial, and the Freedom 76′r. In 2010 however it was a struggle, and to right the ship in 2011 he has purchased a 2011 Troyer Chassis and is having it prepared by Keith Hoffman and Hoffman Speed Supplies. They have done a great job for him on his Friday night cars over the years, and it seemed like a logical choice. Gunther goes into 2011 at Grandview the most optimistic he’s ever been.
Over the years Gunther has helped numerous and diverse sponsors market & promote their businesses both on the air and at the race track. From brainstorming ideas to product endorsements, Gunther does whatever it takes to help his sponsors succeed!
