CHARLOTTE, NC - The MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES heads to Talladega Superspeedway this weekend, site of FOX’s second-annual “Drivers Only” NASCAR XFINITY SERIES broadcast, with FOX Sports set to offer more than 18 hours of live action from NASCAR’s biggest track.

After FOX Sports successfully aired its first-ever “Drivers Only” NASCAR XFINITY SERIES race broadcast last June at Pocono Raceway, the first time a nationally televised sporting event had been called entirely by athletes currently competing in that sport, FOX returns this weekend for an encore.

Regular FOX Sports announcers Shannon Spake and Michael Waltrip will open FOX’s pre-race coverage at 2:30 PM ET from the Hollywood Hotel, while Keselowski and Stenhouse Jr. make their way from the garage following MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP qualifying (live on FOX) to the Hollywood Hotel. Mentoring the driver broadcasters throughout the day are regular FOX Sports broadcasters Adam Alexander (Harvick), Michael Waltrip (Bowyer and Logano), Jamie Little (Blaney), Regan Smith (Jones), Vince Welch (Wallace), Shannon Spake (Keselowski) and Larry McReynolds (Stenhouse Jr.).
