Top Five NASCAR TV Pit Reporters of All-Time

Honorable Mentions

There are over a dozen faces that have graced the television airwaves from pit lane for NASCAR coverage in the last five years. A number of them could make the cut for the best of all-time if they continue on their current trajectory and career path.

Matt Yocum: If you have turned on a stock car race in the last twenty years, you probably have seen Matt Yocum roaming pit road. One of the longest standing pit reporters today in NASCAR, Yocum has earned the reputation of being thorough, professional, and a strong mentor for many young upstarts. He is the most senior member of the Fox NASCAR crew currently and has worked for many other former series broadcasters including Turner Sports and ESPN. Here’s hoping we still have many more years out of Yocum to come.

Krista Voda: She may not have started out in motorsports, but Krista Voda quickly found a home in covering NASCAR. Beginning as a pit reporter and Truck Series host for Fox Sports, Voda has taken on a new challenge as the host of NASCAR on NBC. Cutting her teeth on pit lane, she quickly found a loyal following while working for Fox and that continues to this day. She may not be on pit road anymore, but if Krista Voda can look anywhere for where her career took off, that would be it.

Dave Burns: Has it already been over fifteen years that Dave Burns has been covering NASCAR? One of the most energetic voices on pit road, Burns began his announcing career covering the American Speed Association (ASA), before moving up to NASCAR in 2001 with NBC Sports. Since then, Burns has had stints with ESPN and now back at NBC, expanding is repertoire to including play-by-play on Xfinity Series races. The future is certainly bright for Dave Burns, as he could be the new voice of NASCAR in the coming years.
