The résumé of Fox motor sports reporter Jamie Little is full of firsts. The first woman to cover an Indianapolis 500 flag-to-flag. The first woman to be the play-by-play announcer for a national racing series. The first woman to do play-by-play for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. There are many more—Little’s career has seemingly always been in high gear.
But Little never set out to be a trailblazer. She loves motor sports, and has from a very young age. Her firsts have all been the result of doing the job she loves—and being in the right place at the right time. She spent more than a decade covering racing for ABC and ESPN before moving to Fox in 2015. This year marked her return to the pits at the Brickyard for last month’s Indianapolis 500—just a short drive from the Indiana home she shares with her husband, two children and four rescue dogs.
