FOX announces unprecedented ‘all-driver’ broadcasting lineup for XFINITY race

CONCORD, N.C. — The more the merrier for FOX Sports when it comes to placing the expertise of active Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers in the broadcast arena.

In what is believed to be an unprecedented move in national sports broadcasting, FOX Sports announced that its live broadcast of the June 10 XFINITY Series race from Pocono Raceway (1 p.m. ET on FOX) will be called entirely by active Monster Energy Cup drivers.

The race broadcast is thought to be the first time a nationally televised live sporting event has featured an on-air team comprised strictly of athletes actively competing in that sport.
