NASCAR announced some pretty big broadcasting news on Saturday night.
Legendary analyst Darrell Waltrip, who retired following the 2019 season, will be returning to the broadcasting booth next weekend.
Waltrip, one of the top NASCAR figures ever, is coming out of retirement for a one-week appearance next weekend.
It should be a fun one.

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.”
NASCAR fans are excited.
“They continue to listen to fans and decide to come back with a vengeance,” one fan tweeted.
“Return of the King,” another fan tweeted.
“BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY LETS GO RACIN’ BOYS,” another fan added on social media on Saturday.
