ESPN's Jamie Little to join NASCAR on FOX crew in 2015

NASCAR on ESPN’s Jamie Little will be moving over to NASCAR on FOX starting next season, FOX Sports announced.

Little will continue her role as a pit road reporter, as well as attending “select additional races and special events throughout the year.”

With ESPN abandoning their NASCAR broadcasting duties at the end of this season, the network’s NASCAR television personalities moving to other networks (mainly FOX and NBC) is becoming the norm.

"Bringing Jamie into the NASCAR on FOX fold is a huge addition for FOX Sports," said John Entz, EVP, Production & Executive Producer, FOX Sports (via press release).  "While her versatility is remarkable, her ability to think on her feet and report not only the news but also the sport's human-interest stories, with a down-to-earth presentation, makes her a perfect fit for FOX."

Little previously worked at FOX Sports’ SPEED channel from 2002 to 2003, covering a variety of motorsports events.

"Jumping over to FOX will be a big change for me, but this is the perfect time in my life and I welcome the challenge," Little said, also via statement. "For some broadcasters, NASCAR often is a steppingstone to where they want to be in another sport or realm of entertainment. But NASCAR is my NFL, and the Daytona 500 is my Super Bowl. All I've ever wanted to do is cover racing, so the fact FOX approached me with the opportunity to continue covering the sport I love so much is a true honor."
