Not only does competition at Talladega Superspeedway pique fans interest for the full speed, high-stakes brand of restrictor-plate racing, this week marks the highly-anticipated all-driver broadcast for the Sparks Energy 300 (3 p.m. ET on FOX, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
Monster Energy Cup drivers Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, Joey Logano, Ryan Blaney, Erik Jones, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Brad Keselowski and Darrell Wallace Jr. will participate – going from the driver’s seat to the broadcast booth and pit road.
Harvick will be calling the play-by-play alongside his Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Clint Bowyer and Penske Racing’s Joey Logano in the booth.
Five-time Talladega Cup winner Keselowski and defending Monster Energy race winner Stenhouse will anchor the Hollywood Hotel and “Bubba” Wallace, Jones, and Blaney will serve as pit road reporters. Interestingly – Blaney’s win at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway last summer happened following a similar all-driver broadcast.
