His career in Motorsports started in 1996 as a USAC Crew Chief for his brother Clay Klepper. He has extensive knowledge and experience in open-wheel racing on dirt and pavement and had multiple wins as a crew chief. Rob has worked on Midgets, Sprint Cars, Silver Crown Cars, Mini-Sprints, and Micros.

 

His announcing career began in 2002 as the house announcer at Kings Speedway (Hanford, CA) & Plaza Park Raceway (Visalia, CA) before becoming the first traveling announcer for the All-Star Circuit of Champions in 2003. Rob called the All-Stars until 2006 while “simulcasting” each event live on the internet. It was the infancy of live streaming. In 2006, Rob left the All-Stars to become the first national traveling announcer for the United States Auto Club (USAC) calling Midget, Sprint and Silver Crown events from coast to coast. That same year his career in television began alongside veteran broadcaster Jack Arute on the "USAC Thunder" broadcasts for The Outdoor Channel. He also created/wrote/produced/hosted a live 2 hour “USAC Racing” Radio Show each week. 

 

Rob has continued his career in motorsports television/live streaming covering virtually anything and everything. From two-wheels to four, dirt to pavement, demolition derby to drag boats, mini-sprints to modifieds, and snowmobiles to sprint cars. In 2020, he became a licensed Real Estate Broker and in 2021 became the house announcer for the all new Xtreme Outlaw Midget & Sprint Series from the World Racing Group. In 2022, it was a return to The Outdoor Channel as Rob hosted an eight-episode competition show called "Overlanders."
