Fox Sports announced that Mike Joy will once again lead the booth during the first stretch of the NASCAR Cup Series season. He will have Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick in the booth as analysts starting with the Clash and continuing with several regular-season races.
Jamie Little and Regan Smith will once again serve as the lead pit reporters for the Clash while continuing their partnership from past seasons. Larry McReynolds, America's Crew Chief, will also return to the lineup to provide updates about pit strategy and timing of cautions in past races.
The Fox Sports pre-race show will return this season with some familiar faces. Chris Myers will host "NASCAR RaceDay" on Sunday, Feb. 2, at 7:30 p.m. ET. Jamie McMurray, Little, Bowyer, Harvick, and Smith will all join him while preparing fans for the Clash.
The Fox Deportes coverage will feature Tony Rivera as the play-by-play announcer. Emmy Award-winning analyst Jessi Losada will join Rivera for the Spanish-language broadcast.
The weekend coverage schedule starts on Saturday, Feb. 1, with Cup Series qualifying at 6 p.m. ET (FS1). It continues with Saturday's heat races at 8:30 p.m. ET (FS1).
Sunday's schedule begins with the Last Chance Qualifying race at 6 p.m. ET (Fox). It continues with "NASCAR RaceDay" at 7:30 p.m. ET (Fox). The Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium will then take place at 8 p.m. ET (Fox and Fox Deportes).
The 2025 season marks significant milestones for two members of the broadcast team. Joy and McReynolds will both celebrate 25 years with the network.
Their run together includes hundreds of Cup Series races and countless wild on-track moments. They were on the call for Harvick's wild Daytona 500 win over Mark Martin. They were in the booth for dominant stretches by Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Martin Truex Jr., and Kyle Busch. Joy and McReynolds were part of the team as Kurt Busch won his first Daytona 500 in 2017.
