During a 1989 "Thunder" broadcast, Nuber and fellow announcer/former racer Steve Chassey got involved in a heated dispute over Rich Vogler which eventually caused both men to be let go by Entertainment and Sports Programming Network.

On June 8, 2000 Nuber was found dead at the age of 51 in his Indianapolis home by local police who received a call from family members that had not heard from him in several days.

Instead of flowers at his funeral, it was asked that donations be made to the Rich Vogler Scholarship Fund.
