Broadcasting veteran Mike Joy brings more than 50 years of motor sports experience to the booth. He serves as the lead play-by-play race announcer for Fox NASCAR, and since 2001, has led the network’s broadcast team for NASCAR. Previously, Joy worked on most major forms of American motorsports for television and radio and led CBS Sports’ coverage of the DAYTONA 500 from 1998-2000 after serving as a pit reporter for 15 years. In addition, Joy called the “Great American Race” for Motor Racing Network (MRN) Radio from 1977-1983.
Joy has been recognized for his stellar work with many awards. In 2011, he was the recipient of the prestigious Henry T. McLemore Motorsports Journalism Award, recognizing career excellence in the field. Joy is also one of the first racing journalists to receive major recognition for their work in all three major disciplines: radio, television and print. Joy is a charter member of the prestigious NASCAR Hall of Fame Voting Panel, and in December 2013, was named sole media representative on the Hall’s exclusive Nominating Committee.
