Marty Reid out? (Update yes)
UPDATE ESPN says motorsports announcer Marty Reid is no longer with the network.
Reid had been with ESPN since 1982 and is the only television play-by-play announcer to cover five different North American motorsports series. He's called NASCAR's Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Truck Series, as well as IndyCar and NHRA.
An ESPN spokesman says the network is going in a different direction and Allen Bestwick will call the remainder of the Nationwide Series races this season.
Reid was the network's lead announcer for IndyCar and that position will be addressed later.
09/29/13 Rumor has it that Marty Reid is out at ESPN, immediately. Allen Bestwick is said to be calling the remainder of the Nationwide races. Is he headed to NBC?
