According to FOX, Patrick is believed to be the first woman to serve in this capacity during a NASCAR television race broadcast. Wendy Venturini became the first woman to co-anchor a Sprint Cup radio broadcast last September at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Patrick joins fellow Stewart-Haas Racing teammate and defending Sprint Cup Series champion, Kevin Harvick, as well as NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champions Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski as analysts on XFINITY races this season alongside play-by-play announcer Adam Alexander and analyst Michael Waltrip.
FOX and FOX Sports 1 will televise the first 14 races of the XFINITY season in the first season of a new 10-year agreement to cover the series “Where Names Are Made.”
The four drivers will call 10 of those races, and their participation on those specific events is subject to change.
