From NASCAR:
NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Darrell Waltrip, who retired as a FOX NASCAR analyst at the conclusion of the 2019 season after 19 years with FOX Sports, will serve as the guest analyst for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race alongside former colleague Mike Joy and analyst Clint Bowyer (7:00 PM ET on FOX).
“After a couple of seasons retired from the FOX booth, I’m really looking forward to being back up there with Mike (Joy) and now with Clint (Bowyer),” said Waltrip, three-time champion and the winningest driver at Bristol with 12 victories. “But I really feel sorry for Mike – he always had his hands full with me, but now he has double trouble with Bowyer and me. It will be a blast. I still watch every single race, and I am excited about seeing the new car on Bristol Dirt.”
Get excited, NASCAR fans.
