NBC Sports has announced a significant change to their NASCAR Cup Series coverage, naming Leigh Diffey as the new lead play-by-play commentator. Diffey, who has spent over a decade as the lead commentator for NBC Sports’ INDYCAR coverage, will bring his expertise and enthusiasm to the NASCAR Cup Series booth starting with the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway on August 24.
Diffey’s appointment marks a new era for NBC Sports’ NASCAR coverage, which has undergone significant changes in recent years. His experience and passion for motorsports make him an ideal fit for the role, and fans can expect to see a fresh perspective and energy in the broadcast booth. Diffey will work alongside analysts Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Burton to bring viewers all the action and excitement of the NASCAR Cup Series.
Diffey’s move to the NASCAR Cup Series booth also means a change for the INDYCAR series, with Kevin Lee taking over as lead commentator. Lee has previously worked as a pit reporter and fill-in commentator for NBC Sports’ INDYCAR coverage and is well-respected within the motorsports community. The move ensures continuity and expertise in both the NASCAR and INDYCAR broadcast teams.
The addition of Diffey to the NASCAR Cup Series coverage team is a strategic move by NBC Sports to enhance their motorsports coverage. With his extensive experience and knowledge of racing, Diffey is poised to bring a new level of excitement and analysis to the broadcast booth, further solidifying NBC Sports’ position as a leader in motorsports coverage.
