With the 2019 season underway, FOX Sports continues to add value to their NASCAR broadcasts. Here's what they've added for the season.
On top of Gordon, FOX Sports added to their on-air and reporter talent by signing driver Jamie McMurray, hosts Lindsay Czarniak and Sara Walsh, former driver and analyst Ricky Craven, and reporter Bob Pockrass. All of these adds increase the content value for FOX Sports.
For Xfinity races, FOX Sports added 7-time NASCAR Cup champion driver Jimmie Johnson and his former crew chief Chad Knaus, on top of Petty driver Bubba Wallace for in-race coverage. On the tech side, FOX Sports came up with their first state-of-the-art Virtual Studio and for the Daytona 500 used an untethered drone and the 90-mph rail cam for the first time. .
Ultimately, the question will be whether the investments that FOX Sports is making in NASCAR bears fruits with the audience and largely retains it. You can’t say they aren’t trying, and it’s certain that the continued growth of FOX Sports’ technology is finding its way into other sports that they cover.
