Carl Edwards, who was recently inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, just announced plans to become part of Amazon Prime Video’s racing coverage this summer. In his time since he abruptly walked away from racing after nearly winning the 2016 Cup Series title, shocking the NASCAR world, people have hoped for Edwards to return to the sport in some form. The popular driver has become a more common presence at the track over the last two years and even joined the FOX booth as a guest analyst at Darlington in 2023.

Prime Video, which will be streaming NASCAR Cup races for the very first time this year, has put together an all-star lineup. Adam Alexander will work as the play-by-play announcer, joined by NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Daytona 500-winning crew chief Steve Letarte in the broadcast booth. Pit reporters include 2011 Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne, as well as industry veterans Kim Coon and Marty Snider. Coon has previously worked as a pit reporter at NBC and the Motor Racing Network, while Snider has decades of experience reporting from the pits for NBC.

Edwards’ role will place him in the post-race show hosted by former NASCAR Race Hub co-host and SiriusXM radio personality Danielle Trotta. The show features another driver/analyst with Corey LaJoie. Edwards will add expert insight and comment on the important storylines playing out at the track each weekend. His impressive driving career includes 445 Cup starts, 28 wins, 124 top-fives and 220 top-tens. He was the championship runner-up twice at the Cup level, and also won the 2007 NASCAR Xfinity Series title.

Prime Video’s run of five races begins with the Coca-Cola 600 on May 25th. It also includes Nashville, Michigan, Pocono, and the first-ever Cup race south of the border when the series heads to Mexico City in June. Most practice and qualifying sessions for the first part of the 2025 season can also be found on Prime Video, but with the FOX Sports broadcast team handling coverage.
