Notes

• In 2001, television coverage moved to FX as part of the new NASCAR television contract, and qualifying was changed so the pit stop took place at the start of the qualifying, and the stop was a four-tire change instead of two. Also starting in 2001, crew members were introduced together with drivers during the driver introduction ceremonies, with Fox broadcasters Chris Myers and Jeff Hammond interviewing selected persons during the ceremony.

1980s

Year	Track	Network	Lap-by-lap	Color commentator(s)	Pit reporter(s)
1989	Charlotte	ABC	Paul Page	Benny Parsons and Bobby Unser	Jack Arute
1988		ABC	Keith Jackson	Jerry Punch	Jerry Gappens
1987		ABC	Keith Jackson[40]	Donnie Allison	Jerry Punch
1986	Atlanta	ESPN	Bob Jenkins	Larry Nuber and Benny Parsons	Jack Arute
1985	Charlotte	Jefferson-Pilot[41]	Mike Joy	Kyle Petty	Johnny Hayes

Notes

• The 1986 event featured the Atlanta Invitational, a 100-lap race for drivers who did not meet the eligibility of The Winston. The Atlanta Invitational was held before The Winston, but due to a tape delay, ESPN aired the race after The Winston.
• Keith Jackson, much better known for his work on college football and ABC's Wide World of Sports, called the 1987 event, known for the "Pass in the Grass". He was the network's NASCAR play-by-play announcer until the 1987 season.
  • From 1987 to 1990, ABC Sports covered reports on time trials on the Indianapolis 500, which ABC Sports also covered.
• From its first year, the unique moniker "The Winston" was adopted by sponsor R. J. Reynolds. Rather than referring to the event as a traditional "All star" race, no generic reference was included in the title. Due to limitations on television tobacco advertising, other races which involved tobacco title sponsorship utilized generic names on network television. For example, on ABC, the Winston 500 was called the "Talladega 500" and the Marlboro 500 was called the "Michigan 500." Without a generic alternative, television and other media were forced to acknowledge Winston as the title sponsor, effectively skirting, and pushing the limits of tobacco advertising regulation.

Radio

Motor Racing Network is one of the two main radio broadcasters of the NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series, covering events held at tracks owned by ISC, along with Dover International Speedway and Pocono Raceway. It also broadcasts the NASCAR All-Star Race, and the entire Truck Series season (although clearance of Xfinity and Truck Series events may vary by station). Almost all of the remaining races are broadcast by the Speedway Motorsports-owned Performance Racing Network (PRN), besides the Brickyard 400 (which is broadcast by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network in association with PRN); many stations have affiliations with both MRN and PRN in order to air a full NASCAR schedule. All races are also carried on Sirius XM NASCAR Radio.

The lead announcers for the 2017 race's broadcast on MRN were Joe Moore, Jeff Striegle and Rusty Wallace. The network also implemented two announcers on each side of the track: Dave Moody in turns 1 and 2 and Kyle Rickey in turns 3 and 4. Alex Hayden, Winston Kelly, Kim Coon, and Steve Post were the network's pit lane reporters. The lead announcers for MRN in the following year were Mike Bagley, Jeff Striegle and Rusty Wallace. The network continued to implement two announcers on each side of the track: Dave Moody in turns 1 and 2 and Kyle Rickey in turns 3 and 4. Alex Hayden, Winston Kelly, Kim Coon, and Steve Post were the network's pit lane reporters. Alex Hayden became one of the lead announcers come 2019.
