Carl Edwards, who was recently inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, just announced plans to become part of Amazon Prime Video's racing coverage this summer. In his time since he abruptly walked away from racing after nearly winning the 2016 Cup Series title, shocking the NASCAR world, people have hoped for Edwards to return to the sport in some form. The popular driver has become a more common presence at the track over the last two years and even joined the FOX booth as a guest analyst at Darlington in 2023.
Prime Video, which will be streaming NASCAR Cup races for the very first time this year, has put together an all-star lineup. Adam Alexander will work as the play-by-play announcer, joined by NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Daytona 500-winning crew chief Steve Letarte in the broadcast booth. Pit reporters include 2011 Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne, as well as industry veterans Kim Coon and Marty Snider. Coon has previously worked as a pit reporter at NBC and the Motor Racing Network, while Snider has decades of experience reporting from the pits for NBC.
