Coon, who spent four seasons (2011-2014) as Miss Sprint Cup, will report from pit road during the network’s Sprint Cup Series qualifying shows, as well as interact with fans on social media and during MRN’s televised race coverage.
The Florida native posted the announcement on Miss Sprint Cup‘s Facebook page on Saturday.
Accompanying Wallace and Coon is Eli Gold, one of motorsports’ most recognizable broadcasters after more than three decades on the air. Gold will host MRN’s pre-race and post-race coverage of the Sprint Cup Series while providing in-race updates. Coon will also join Gold on the pre-race show.
MRN’s 2015 broadcast schedule will begin Friday, Jan. 30, with exclusive radio coverage of the sixth annual NASCAR Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony from Charlotte. The broadcast will air at 7 p.m. ET with live streaming on MRN.com.
