Jamie Little Steps Back from Play-by-Play Booth, Focuses on Pit Reporting and Family

FOX Sports’ Jamie Little will no longer serve as a play-by-play announcer for the NASCAR Truck Series or ARCA Menard’s Series. However, she will continue her established role as a pit reporter for both NASCAR and IndyCar.

“Starting next season, my focus will be on the NASCAR Cup Series pit road and select IndyCar races,” Little said in a statement on Tuesday. “My kids are still young and deserve more of my time. Thank you to everyone who has watched and supported my journey as a play-by-play voice for ARCA and the Truck Series the last six years. It’s been quite a ride and one I’ll always be thankful to have experienced. A special thank you to Fox for always giving me opportunities.”

Little is a veteran reporter whose career dates back to 1998 when she covered the X-Games for ESPN. She joined FOX Sports in 2015 as a pit reporter and expanded into play-by-play announcing for the Truck and ARCA series in 2021. She recently gained additional prominence as the reporter chosen to interview NBA legend and team owner Michael Jordan following each of Tyler Reddick’s historic victories to open the 2026 Cup season, including the Daytona 500.

Eric Brennan has recently filled the play-by-play announcer role for various Truck Series races and is considered the likely successor, though no official announcement has been made.

The NASCAR Truck Series schedule includes 25 races, and the ARCA Menard’s Series features 20 races, both fully broadcast by FOX Sports across its channels. FOX Sports also covers the first 12 races of the NASCAR Cup season and the All-Star Race, with Mike Joy expected to continue as the play-by-play announcer, a role he has held for the network since 2001.
