The FOX NASCAR booth trio is bolstered by a deep and experienced on-air team featuring former crew chief and race analyst Larry McReynolds and pit reporters Jamie Little, Chris Neville, Vince Welch and Matt Yocum. Chris Myers hosts FOX NASCAR SUNDAY and the network's coverage from the famed Hollywood Hotel alongside Michael Waltrip, Darrell Waltrip and Gordon.
