BURBANK, CA (January 14, 2025) - The CW Network today announced its broadcast team for the 2025 NASCAR XFINITY SERIES season. Veteran broadcaster Adam Alexander will serve as lead play-by-play announcer and will be joined by DAYTONA 500 Champion Jamie McMurray and NASCAR driver Parker Kligerman as race analysts. Dillon Welch and Kim Coon will serve as pit reporters, and Carla Gebhart will host the studio show "NASCAR Countdown Live" prior to every race.

The CW's coverage of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season begins on Saturday, February 15, 2025, from Daytona International Speedway, with "NASCAR Countdown Live" (4:00-5:00pm/ET) followed by the race (5:00-8:00pm/ET). For the first time in series history, all 33 NASCAR Xfinity Series races will be available on free, over-the-air broadcast television with additional content available through The CW's digital platforms. All 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series races and ancillary content will be fully produced by the Emmy(R) Award-winning NASCAR Productions group, in close collaboration with The CW.

Adam Alexander is the preeminent voice for NASCAR, serving as the lead play-by-play announcer for The CW's NASCAR Xfinity Series as well as Prime Video and TNT Sports' Cup Series coverage. In addition to play-calling responsibilities, Alexander will also work with NASCAR Studios to develop content for NASCAR and CW platforms. Prior to joining The CW, Alexander led FOX Sports' NASCAR Xfinity Series coverage, a position which he has held since 2015 as part of FOX's coverage of the series. Alexander also co-hosted "NASCAR Race Hub," FS1's daily NASCAR news and informational program, and called select NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races, along with serving as play-by-play announcer for various FOX college football and college basketball games.

Jamie McMurray is a former professional driver whose stellar career spanned 16 full-time NASCAR Cup Series seasons from 2002-2018 and included winning the DAYTONA 500 and Brickyard 400 in 2010. In 2019, he joined FOX Sports as a NASCAR analyst for "NASCAR Race Hub" and "NASCAR RaceDay," among other duties. In 2020, he became an analyst for all FOX NASCAR pre- and in-race studio coverage of the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series, in addition to calling multiple NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck series races and a NASCAR Cup Series race in 2023.

Parker Kligerman is a NASCAR driver and media personality with a career spanning all three of NASCAR's premier series. With three wins, 39 top five finishes, and 105 top ten finishes, he recently retired from the NASCAR Xfinity Series after a two-year run as the marquee driver for Big Machine Racing, earning the team their first and second playoff berths. Since 2015, Kligerman has served as an analyst and pit reporter for NBC Sports. He has also created original motorsports programming and is currently the co-host of "The Money Lap" podcast.

Dillon Welch is an auto racing announcer and Emmy(R) Award-winning television producer. From 2014-16, Welch traveled nationally as the public address announcer for the United States Auto Club. He joined the Motor Racing Network in 2015 as a turn announcer and pit reporter for select NASCAR national series events. Beginning in 2018, he was visible on NBC Sports telecasts as a pit reporter and booth announcer covering NASCAR, IndyCar, and IMSA.

Kim Coon has spent the last 14 years covering NASCAR most recently as part of NBC's coverage of the NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series. She has covered NASCAR for Motor Racing Network, as well as roles for IndyCar and American Flat Track. Most notably, she co-hosted "Off the Grid" on NBC as well as NASCAR's popular "Glass Case of Emotion" podcast with driver Ryan Blaney.

Carla Gebhart is an Emmy(R) Award-winning anchor who currently serves as the Sports Director at WJZY-TV (FOX), the Nexstar-owned television station serving Charlotte, North Carolina, and the surrounding area. She hosts a nightly sports show for WJZY-TV called "Charlotte Sports Live," where she reports the latest news from NASCAR, the NFL, NBA, and college athletics. She also hosts other shows related to the Carolina Panthers and NASCAR, which are syndicated regionally and nationally.

Comprised primarily of NASCAR's younger, up-and-coming drivers, the NASCAR Xfinity Series features the sport's future stars often competing side-by-side against NASCAR's biggest names - many of whom earned their stripes and won championships in the Xfinity Series. NASCAR Xfinity Series races in some of the nation's largest markets - from Chicago to Dallas to Miami - and at the sport's most iconic tracks, including Daytona International Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway and the series championship at Phoenix Raceway. The full race schedule for the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series on The CW can be found here.
