The CW announces new broadcast talent, reporters and studio hosts for 2025 NASCAR coverage

The 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season will be aired on The CW in its entirety. From start to finish, every race will be in one place. That means that the network has hired new talent to call races during the season.

NASCAR fans are going to like the 2025 booth that The CW has chosen. There are new and old faces, and it is overall, a very young booth.

Adam Stern of Sports Business Journal shared the news today about The CW’s broadcast talent. It includes the booth, pit reporters, and more.

This season Adam Alexander, Jamie McMurray, and Parker Kligerman will make up the broadcast booth. That’s an excellent trio. Alongside those talents will be Dillon Welch and Kim Coon on pit road.

Finally, Carla Gebhart will be the studio host for an all-new show. NASCAR Countdown Live will air before Xfinity Series races on The CW. Welcome back NASCAR Raceday?

Adding a prerace show is such a strong move from The CW. These broadcast talents, from the booth to pit road and the studio, are all fantastic. When the Xfinity Series moved to The CW, the network made it clear that the series would anchor their sports programming.

It is nice to see, at a time when FOX and NBC appear to be fine doing business as usual, that one network partner is making a serious push to promote the sport. Having the Xfinity Series available over the air is going to help the sport grow.

Honestly, I wish we could have the Truck Series on The CW, too.

NASCAR Xfinity Series returns to The CW with new look

Last year when The CW picked up the eight Xfinity Series playoff races, they had to borrow talent. The NBC broadcast booth with Rick Allen was in charge of those races. It was fine, but it is time for an all-new take on this series.

Adam Alexander is underrated and one of the best in the business. Jamie McMurray is always fantastic at analyzing races and making it easy for fans at home to understand. Parker Kligerman, fresh off his retirement, is entering a role in which he will excel. Now that he’s not a pit reporter, his weatherman days may be done as well.

This news should excite NASCAR fans. There will be 10 drivers fighting for Rookie of the Year honors. Young superstars like Connor Zilisch, Carson Kvapil, and more are entering the series. Then there are the returning stars like Justin Allgaier, Jesse Love, Austin Hill, and more.

There is real potential for the Xfinity Series to capture hearts and minds in 2025. The CW is available in more homes than any other network partner as a consequence of being an over-the-air channel. It also happens to be the best racing going in America right now, if you ask me.
