I've always been annoyed when announcers do not do their homework. All he has to do is take a lap through the pits and talk to the drivers, make his own notes instead of relying on the check-in sheet.

taking laps through the pits, talking with drivers, crews, and fans is certainly a resource an announcer has at their disposal to make them better at their job. Sometimes however it's just impossible to keep up with everyone at the local dirt track racing weekly level. Everyone typically shows up at the last minute after work and such to have their fun on track. Combo that with having to set up the gear in the booth, make sure everything is on and working properly, event information for the night, upcoming events to relay, sponsor information that can change per night. All in all you're right that an announcer would do good to go through the pits. Just unfortunately that isnt the entire answer as you will ultimately not get everything simply because there is just so much going on.
