About the Host
Kerry Murphey, Toby Christie
KERRY MURPHEY - Kerry Murphey is a 20+ year radio veteran who started his career as an intern at KIIS-FM Los Angeles. In 1993 a call came from a friend at KIIS-FM. His name, Blair Garner, host of a new show called After MidNite, which has since become one of the most successful syndicated radio shows in history. Kerry became the sports talent for the show using the on-air moniker of Jim Shortz. As Jim’s (Kerry) popularity grew, his reports went from once a night, to three, covering the usual sports of baseball, basketball, etc. Kerry soon realized the importance of racing, and more specifically, NASCAR was to his audience. Racing then led the reports virtually every night, and Jim’s broadcasts became a staple to where his listeners could rely on the latest up to date NASCAR news.
Kerry has had the incredible opportunity during his career to work with some of the biggest names in the business … Rick Dees, Blair Garner, Casey Kasem, and now the network that Dick Clark co-founded, United Stations Radio Networks. Kerry Murphey is the host of a show called The Final Lap. Merging his two passions together, everyday he delivers the latest in racing news, stories, stats, and interviews to radio listeners across America. Now in its 8th season, The Final Lap with Kerry Murphey is nationally distributed by United Stations Radio Networks in New York City and is now also a podcast. Additionally, Kerry contributes to United Stations Radio Networks other racing shows, Thunder Road and Racing Rocks with Riki Rachtman.
TOBY CHRISTIE - Toby Christie’s earliest memory of NASCAR is watching the 1993 Daytona 500. That day was the infamous “Dale and Dale show,” and Toby has been hooked ever since. As a kid Toby grew up in Texas, so there wasn’t a NASCAR-sanctioned track nearby until 1997, but from that day forward he’s never missed a race at Texas Motor Speedway.
Like many, Toby grew up wanting to be a race car driver. Well, turns out it take a lot of money to chase that dream — money that Toby didn’t have. So after graduating High School, he decided to write about the sport that he loved.
Over the years Toby has written for several media outlets, but currently he writes at TobyChristie.com. Since 2012, Toby has been the co-host of The Final Lap Weekly, an hour long, weekly NASCAR radio talk show and Podcast.
