FOX NASCAR reporter Jamie Little announced on Tuesday that she will shift her focus away from play-by-play commentary beginning next year. Little intends to prioritize her role as a NASCAR on FOX pit reporter in the Cup Series, as well as select IndyCar Series races.
For the last six years, Little has expanded her role at FOX as the lead play-by-play announcer for the Craftsman Truck Series and the ARCA Menards Series. FS1, the FOX sports channel owned by the FOX corporation, is the exclusive home of both the Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series.

Little has been a pit reporter for NASCAR since 2007 for a number of different networks, including ABC, ESPN, and FOX.
Jamie Little Announces How Her Role Will Shift in 2027
On social media, Little put out a post making her intentions known for 2027. The pit reporter said she is “changing things up a bit” next year. Little, a wife and mother of two, would like to devote more of her time to her family in 2027.
Because of this, Little said her commitments to both being a pit reporter in the Cup Series and a play-by-play announcer for NASCAR’s lower-level series is too time-consuming. Little is appreciative of every opportunity FOX has given her and appreciates her time in the booth.

Here is the statement Little put out via social media:
“Starting next season, my focus will be on the NASCAR Cup Series pit road and select IndyCar races. My kids are still young and deserve more of my time.”
“Thank you to everyone who has watched and supported my journey as a play-by-play voice for ARCA and the Truck Series the last six years. It’s been quite a ride and one I’ll always be thankful to have experienced. A special thank you to FOX for always giving me opportunities.”
