Current commentators

NASCAR Cup Series

Booth announcers

Technical analyst (Charlotte studio)

Pit reporters

Pre-race show (at track)

Notes:

  • Myers only did the Daytona 500 in 2019 and 2020 before returning full-time at every race in 2021, which he previously did from 2001 to 2018.[3]
  • Rinaldi also guest reported on the Daytona 500 pre-race shows in 2021 and 2022.[3][4]
  • Bryson Byrnes, an intern for NASCAR on Fox who is the son of deceased Fox pit reporter Steve Byrnes, is expected to guest report on the pre-race show gridwalk for the last Cup Series race on Fox's schedule (Sonoma in 2023) as he does each year which is when the Byrnsie Award (in honor of his father) is presented.

Pre-race show (Charlotte studio)

Notes:

  • McMurray also sporadically appears during the broadcast of each race as an in-race analyst from the NASCAR on Fox studio in Charlotte. Michael Waltrip had done this in past years before McMurray joined Fox (although Waltrip would be at the track in the studio with Chris Myers).
  • The Charlotte studio was not used during the race weekend for the 2022 and 2023 Clash races. The pre-race show broadcasters (Spake, McReynolds and McMurray) went to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in-person instead of broadcasting from the Charlotte studio. Additionally, McMurray went to the track for the Daytona 500 and McReynolds went to Daytona for the Duel races before returning to Charlotte for the rest of the race weekend.

Previous guest analysts

Drivers (or crew chief in the case of Chad Knaus and Drew Blickensderfer) have appeared as rotating guest analysts for the Xfinity, Truck and/or the ARCA Menards Series broadcasts, and usually the same drivers return each year on top of a few that are added into the rotation each year. The new guest analysts in 2021 were Blickensderfer, Trevor Bayne, Greg Biffle, Chase Briscoe, Matt DiBenedetto, Brandon Jones, Andy Lally, Tyler Reddick, Tony Stewart, Kevin Swindell, and Daniel Suárez. Guest analysts that returned in 2021 from 2020 were Aric Almirola, Ryan Blaney, Kurt Busch, Matt Crafton, Austin Dillon, Joey Logano, and Bubba Wallace. Brad Keselowski, who had last appeared as a guest analyst in 2019, returned in 2021. Kyle Busch was the only driver to appear as a guest analyst on a 2020 broadcast that did not return for any races in 2021.[11][12]

Numerous other drivers have appeared as guest analysts in years prior to 2020. In addition, Jeff Gordon, Jamie McMurray and Clint Bowyer were guest analysts before they became permanent analysts for Fox after their retirements from driving in NASCAR. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was also a guest analyst for Fox before he became a permanent analyst for NBC after he retired from driving in NASCAR full-time.

Truck Series:

  • Kurt Busch (Daytona, Las Vegas, Bristol dirt, Kansas, Charlotte and Gateway)[19]
  • Andy Lally (COTA, Sonoma and Mid–Ohio)

Drivers Only (+ Chad) broadcasts

Each year since 2017 (except for 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), Fox has had active Cup Series drivers (plus crew chief Chad Knaus in 2019 and 2021) serve as every member of the broadcast team for one of their Xfinity Series races (Pocono in 2017, Talladega in 2018, and Charlotte in 2019, 2021 and 2022).

In 2021, Kevin Harvick, Ryan Blaney and Joey Logano were in the booth, Christopher Bell and Erik Jones were the pit reporters, and Brad Keselowski, Knaus, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. were in the Charlotte studio. In 2022, the "Drivers Only" broadcast returned at the same race with the same three drivers in the booth and the return of Keselowski and Stenhouse to the studio. Austin Cindric and Tyler Reddick were the pit reporters, replacing Christopher Bell and Erik Jones, and Aric Almirola replaced Chad Knaus in the studio.[18]
