TNT Sports has announced the broadcast booth talent for its return to NASCAR coverage next season.
Play-by-play commentator Adam Alexander and analyst Steve Letarte will join the previously-announced Dale Earnhardt Jr. — NASCAR Hall of Famer and two-time Daytona 500 winner — in the broadcast booth for TNT Sports’ coverage of the NASCAR Cup Series beginning June 28 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
“We are excited to welcome Adam and Steve to the TNT Sports family, joining Dale in the booth to give racing fans a thoughtful, entertaining and engaging experience,” said Craig Barry, Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer, TNT Sports. “Their passion and knowledge for the sport, delivered in a more conversational format, will create a compelling narrative for each race and enhance the coverage for viewers as NASCAR returns to our platforms next year.”
Alexander returns to TNT Sports as the lead play-by-play commentator, bringing with him over 30 years of broadcasting experience in motorsports. He previously served as play-by-play commentator for NASCAR on TNT from 20210-2014, and most recently was the play-by-play announcer for FOX’s NASCAR Xfinity Series coverage and co-hosted NASCAR Race Hub on FS1.
“I’m very excited to return to TNT Sports as they renew their coverage of NASCAR,” said Alexander. “I have great respect for Dale and Steve and look forward to calling races with them.”
Letarte joins TNT Sports as an analyst, offering insights from his more than a decade as a motorsport commentator and more than 20 years as a crew member and crew chief for Hendrick Motorsports. He served as crew chief for Jeff Gordon’s No. 24 car from 2005-2010, achieving 10 wins during his tenure, and later led the No. 88 team driven by Earnhardt Jr. from 2010-2014.
“I am looking forward to joining the team at TNT Sports and working alongside Dale Jr. again in the booth,” said Letarte. “TNT has a long history of covering NASCAR and I am excited to contribute to that history next season when the green flag waves on TNT’s coverage in June.”
Voted by fans as NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver for an unprecedented 15 consecutive years (2003-17), Earnhardt Jr.’s relationship with TNT Sports will come full circle, with his first career NASCAR Cup Series race — the 1999 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway — airing on TBS.
“It’s so nostalgic to see TNT Sports return to NASCAR,” said Earnhardt Jr. “I enjoyed watching their coverage back in the day. I’m looking forward to being a part of the team and working with Adam (Alexander) and (Steve) Letarte.”
TNT Sports’ 2025 live race schedule will begin on Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Atlanta, followed by four consecutive Sundays of adrenaline-pumping race action: July 6 in Chicago; July 13 in Sonoma; July 20 in Dover; and July 27 in Indianapolis.
In addition to Alexander, Letarte and Earnhardt Jr. joining TNT Sports, it is also being announced today that they will be part of Prime Video’s broadcast team for its inaugural season in 2025.
