FOX Sports will add fresh talent to its NASCAR lineup in 2015
Along with familiar faces such as Mike Joy, Darrell Waltrip and Larry McReynolds, Jamie Little and Chris Neville will join veteran reporter Matt Yocum on pit road.

The three champions will be in rotation along with hosts Adam Alexander and Michael Waltrip to offer current perspective from the cockpit to the booth.
