Notes:

• McMurray also sporadically appears during the broadcast of each race as an in-race analyst from the NASCAR on Fox studio in Charlotte. Michael Waltrip had done this in past years before McMurray joined Fox (although Waltrip would be at the track in the studio with Chris Myers).

Previous guest analysts

Drivers (or crew chief in the case of Chad Knaus and Drew Blickensderfer) have appeared as rotating guest analysts for the Xfinity, Truck and/or the ARCA Menards Series broadcasts, and usually the same drivers return each year on top of a few that are added into the rotation each year. The new guest analysts in 2021 were Blickensderfer, Trevor Bayne, Greg Biffle, Chase Briscoe, Matt DiBenedetto, Brandon Jones, Andy Lally, Tyler Reddick, Tony Stewart, Kevin Swindell, and Daniel Suárez. Guest analysts that returned in 2021 from 2020 were Aric Almirola, Ryan Blaney, Kurt Busch, Matt Crafton, Austin Dillon, Joey Logano, and Bubba Wallace. Brad Keselowski, who had last appeared as a guest analyst in 2019, returned in 2021. Kyle Busch was the only driver to appear as a guest analyst on a 2020 broadcast that did not return for any races in 2021.^[14][15]

Numerous other drivers have appeared as guest analysts in years prior to 2020. In addition, Jeff Gordon, Jamie McMurray and Clint Bowyer were guest analysts before they became permanent analysts for Fox after their retirements from driving in NASCAR. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was also a guest analyst for Fox before he became a permanent analyst for NBC after he retired from driving in NASCAR full-time.

Drivers Only (+ Chad) broadcasts

Each year since 2017 (except for 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), Fox has had active Cup Series drivers (plus crew chief Chad Knaus in 2019 and 2021) serve as every member of the broadcast team for one of their Xfinity Series races (Pocono in 2017, Talladega in 2018, and Charlotte in 2019, 2021 and 2022). The concept moved to the Craftsman Truck Series in 2025, where it will be used at Homestead-Miami Speedway for the series' primetime network television debut.

In 2021, Kevin Harvick, Ryan Blaney and Joey Logano were in the booth, Christopher Bell and Erik Jones were the pit reporters, and Brad Keselowski, Knaus, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. were in the Charlotte studio. In 2022, the "Drivers Only" broadcast returned at the same race with the same three drivers in the booth and the return of Keselowski and Stenhouse to the studio. Austin Cindric and Tyler Reddick were the pit reporters, replacing Christopher Bell and Erik Jones, and Aric Almirola replaced Chad Knaus in the studio.^[23]

Drivers Only will feature only one full-time Fox professional, analyst Kevin Harvick, who will be the play-by-play announcer. Logano and Keselowski, who are two of the rotating analysts for the Truck Series in 2025, will be the analysts. Cindric and Carson Hocevar, who did the pit reporter role in 2024 for the Xfinity race in Charlotte, will serve as pit reporters.
