Yesterday at 12:00 PM
Prime Video unveiled the final pieces of a decorated announce team for its inaugural season of NASCAR Cup Series coverage, introducing newly-minted Hall of Fame driver Carl Edwards, Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne, and experienced pit reporters Kim Coon and Marty Snider. The expanded lineup brings together a host of familiar faces for racing fans, as an exclusive, five-race package of NASCAR action debuts with the Coca-Cola 600 from Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 25.
Edwards joins host Danielle Trotta, along with third-generation racer and analyst Corey LaJoie, as an analyst for Prime Video‘s pre- and post-race studio show. Bayne, Coon, and Snider will patrol pit road, complementing the broadcast booth team of seasoned race caller Adam Alexander, NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Daytona 500-winning crew chief Steve Letarte.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Carl, Trevor, Kim, and Marty to our NASCAR on Prime Video team,” said Alex Strand, Sr. coordinating producer at Prime Video. “Carl’s Hall-of-Fame career, combined with the extensive experience of Trevor, Kim, and Marty, bring an unparalleled authenticity to our coverage. Their deep knowledge and genuine passion will resonate with fans and elevate the NASCAR viewing experience. We look forward to showcasing our entire announce team when we debut in just a few short months.”
Named one of NASCAR‘s 75 Greatest Drivers, Carl Edwards brings his enthusiasm for racing to Prime Video‘s inaugural season of coverage. His impressive resume in NASCAR‘s top series includes 28 Cup victories, 124 top-5s, 220 top-10s, and 22 poles. He was runner-up for a NASCAR Championship twice, including the closest finish in NASCAR history, losing by a tiebreaker in 2011. Just last month, he was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Trevor Bayne boasts an impressive racing pedigree. In 2011, he made history as the youngest driver ever to win the Daytona 500, claiming victory just one day after his 20th birthday. Throughout his career, Bayne competed across NASCAR’s top series, starting 187 Cup Series races, 164 Xfinity Series races, and 9 Craftsman Truck Series races. His record includes 3 wins, 99 top-5s, and 9 poles across these circuits. In addition to his upcoming NASCAR on Prime Video role, Bayne currently coaches Truck Series drivers for Tricon Garage, Xfinity Series drivers for Joe Gibbs Racing, and works as an analyst for the ARCA Menards Series on FOX Sports.
Kim Coon joins Prime Video with extensive NASCAR broadcasting experience. Currently a pit reporter for NBC Sports and CW Sports, Coon also co-hosted NASCAR’s popular Glass Case of Emotion podcast alongside driver Ryan Blaney and Chuck Bush. Her notable resume includes a decade as a pit reporter with Motor Racing Network (MRN), and a stint as part of the morning news broadcast team at WCCB in Charlotte, N.C. Additionally, Coon regularly hosts digital programs and live events for NASCAR, further deepening her connection to the sport and its fans.
Veteran broadcaster Marty Snider brings decades of experience to Prime Video, serving as a pit reporter for NBC Sports’ NASCAR Cup, Xfinity Series, and INDYCAR coverage, as well as handling pre- and post-race duties for NASCAR studio programming. His versatile career spans a wide range of sports, including assignments for Football Night in America, the Olympics, the NBA, Professional Bull Riding, off-road racing, and open-wheel racing. Snider’s talents extend beyond reporting, as he co-produced HBO’s Emmy Award-winning series 24/7 featuring Jimmie Johnson and co-hosted The Morning Drive on Sirius XM’s NASCAR Radio. His excellence in broadcasting has been recognized with six network Emmy awards and NASCAR.com’s “Pit Reporter of the Year” honor in 2007.
Starting in May, Prime Video will exclusively stream five consecutive NASCAR Cup Series races to conclude the first half of the season. In addition, Prime Video will present exclusive coverage of practice and qualifying for almost the entire first half of the NASCAR season, (excluding the NASCAR All-Star Race).
