The FOX NASCAR team of Mike Joy and Clint Bowyer welcomes NASCAR Hall of Fame driver and NBC sports analyst Dale Earnhardt Jr. to the NASCAR racing booth on Sunday, April 24 at 3:00 p.m. ET on FOX Cup Series at Talladega Superspeedway.
“Dale coming to the booth says so much about his love of NASCAR and there is absolutely nobody better equipped to call a race at Talladega,” said Brad Zager, FOX Sports President Production & Operation and Executive Producer. “We appreciate that he is willing to share his time and experience for the upcoming FOX NASCAR race from one of NASCAR’s most popular venues, and we are grateful to NBC Sports for letting Dale spend some time with us.”
His record — six wins at Talladega and reputation — a 15-time NMPA Most Popular Driver — make him the perfect fit for the job.
“I’m really looking forward to having some fun with Mike, Clint and Larry (McReynolds) and the rest of the team,” said Earnhardt, who is a full-time member of NBC Sports’ NASCAR announcement team. “Calling up a race from Talladega is an incredibly fun experience. You have to be on your toes… it doesn’t take much for all hell to break loose.”
McReynolds also offers in-race analysis, with Jamie Little, Regan Smith and Vince Welch reporting from the pits.
