His former crew chief made the move after the 2014 season and one of his teammates will move into the broadcast booth full-time next year.
Now comes word that Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be stepping behind the microphone next season – albeit only as a guest commentator. NASCAR's most popular driver and winner of 25 Sprint Cup races isn't ready to hang up his helmet just yet.
"I don't know if it's a career path for me – it just depends," Earnhardt Jr. told FOX Sports Live co-hosts Dan O'Toole and Jay Onrait.
"I had tweeted that I was interested in doing some XFINITY races, so I think I'd like to try it," he said. "They extended the offer to me that we can give it a shot."
Steve Letarte, Earnhardt's crew chief from 2011-14, took a position as race analyst with NBC Sports beginning this season.
Teammate Jeff Gordon, retiring from full-time competition at year's end, will move into the FOX Sports broadcast booth in '16.
FOX has used Gordon, as well as defending Sprint Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, Clint Bowyer and Danica Patrick occasionally in the booth as guest analysts for XFINITY Series races this year.
"I want to go up there next year and watch a few races, or watch one race, and see what I'm getting myself into," Earnhardt Jr. said. "It looks like a lot of fun. All the drivers (this year) ... looked great, sounded great and the seemed to have a lot of fun doing it."
FOX Sports NASCAR race coverage currently consists of the opening 16 Sprint Cup Series points events, the first 14 XFINITY Series races and the entire Camping World Truck Series schedule.
NBC's coverage includes the final 20 Sprint Cup races, final 19 XFINITY Series races as well as NASCAR K&N Pro Series and Whelen Modified Tour events.
