Leigh Diffey will be the lead play-by-play commentator for NBC Sports’ NASCAR Cup Series coverage starting with this weekend’s race at Daytona International Speedway. Kevin Lee will take on the lead commentator role for the remaining NTT IndyCar Series events this year. Diffey has extensive experience, having led NBC’s IndyCar coverage for over a decade and worked as a lead track and field play-by-play commentator at the Paris Olympics. On the other hand, Lee has been a significant part of NBC’s IndyCar coverage since 2009 and will be the primary IndyCar voice for the last races of NBC’s broadcasting partnership before FOX Sports takes over next year. Rick Allen will remain NBC Sports’ lead NASCAR Xfinity Series play-by-play commentator, with Xfinity Series coverage moving to the CW Network after the race at Bristol Motor Speedway on September 20. Throughout his career, Allen has called NBC Sports’ NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series coverage, building on his previous experience as a NASCAR Truck Series play-by-play announcer.
