Return Jamie Little to Indycar part of the hectic year for the Fox Sports announcer

Motorsports viewers can connect Jamie Little with Fox covering NascarA series of glasses. But there will be little to see more of Fox’s motorcycle sports this year.

There will be a little bit of a journalist on Sunday when Fox wears his first Indycar Race from the street of the Center of St. Petersburg, Florida. She will also be the Play-Play announcer for the whole season to cover the network in the truck series.

Indycar’s task is a bit of a return home for Little, who was a journalist for ESPN and ABC’s coverage of the open wheel series from 2004 to ’14. Little – whose last Indycar race was 2014. Indianapolis 500 – will be filled for Georgia Henneberry, who recently had a child and will miss the first races.

Little, which will also be part of Fox’s coverage Indianapolis 500 May 25. He also hopes on Sunday that some Nasscar fans will adapt as Indycar races will come before the Nascar Cup Road Race in Austin, Texas.

“We’ll try to promote as far as we can. It’s our first double head. Indycar is the first race, followed by Nascar,” Little said. “I’m the only person who does both, so they ask me to be there to try to connect the two worlds.”

One way in which a little will try to bridge the gap between Indycar and Nascar is a feature Kyle Larson with segments emitting in both shows. Larson will try to do again this year Shoulder strap 500 and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 on the same day.

Larson did not get the opportunity to do so last year when the rain postponed Indy’s race, and then shortened the final processing of Nascar’s Charlotte race.

The move to Fox also indicates the first time that the entire series of moto sports will be on television with broadcasting. Fox broadcast ads with upper drivers Josef NewGarden,, Alex Palou and Pato O’ward During the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl Lix.

“I don’t think you can do anything better to help develop this sport and develop a viewer than having it online where if you sit in a bar or have breakfast on Sunday, and that will be on TV, people will see him and be exposed to him like never before,” Little said. “Everyone is excited about the promotion that has already been done.”

The second change for Little this season is that she will call the whole schedule of Nascar Truck series. She called the SELECT TRUCK race in the last three seasons, but she will have Adam Alexander all year to move to CW to make an XFINITY series.

Little became the first woman to work with a TV player for the American national racing series that aired in 2021 when she made the Arca Menards series.

It briefly considered the game to play, but the idea was given in importance after Leigh Diffey, who for the NBC race for NBC, called Little and said that with a growing number of women playing, there was little to be that person in Nascar.

“I just didn’t think it was possible, because you only always hear the man’s voice. I didn’t know what the role I would enjoy on or if I were welcome in that role,” Little said. “I was thinking about it and he was right. I did everything I could as a journalist and I’ll continue to do it, but I want to test myself. I want to cause myself, get out of that comfort zone.”

It got a little more comfortable as the Play-Play Play-Play announcer. She said that her original approach was the same as the journalist of the Cave in discussion of stories, but that changed.

“It’s a set of skills, and you’re a traffic control police officer,” she said. “Yes, there is time to tell those stories, they update these drivers and what is happening, but that is why you have the support of your analysts who explain what is happening on the track. It brings together everything and keeps that conversation.”

The Sunday Indycar race is in the midst of a busy arrow for Little. Since the beginning of February, she has been a journalist of the Westminster Dog Show exhibition, called two truck races and one ARCA, was a journalist for the first two races of the series and interviewed President Donald Trump before Dayton 500.
