Fox Sports will announce today the addition of Ricky Craven to its on-air talent line-up for the 2019 NASCAR season.

Through a post on his Twitter account, Craven announced his departure from ESPN on Jan. 23 after 11 years as a NASCAR analyst for the network. In that time, Craven routinely appeared on “SportsCenter” and other programs to dissect races and discuss breaking news.

Now with Fox, Craven will be a part of the “NASCAR Race Hub Weekend Edition” show as well as practice and qualifying sessions and other weekend programming. He will work out of the new virtual studio Fox Sports is rolling out this year.

“I’m honored to join Fox Sports and have always had great admiration and appreciation for the company’s dedication and commitment to our sport,” Craven said. “Fox has an amazing team I have felt a connection to since 2003 when they enthusiastically delivered the broadcast of our finish at Darlington. I eagerly await the start of our new season.”
