NASCAR has announced that legendary crew chief Larry McReynolds will join Mike Joy and Clint Bowyer at the Dover Cup Race booth as a NASCAR analysis after his latest NASCAR outing which sows him leading the 3ed generation Earnhardt, Jeffry Earnhardt, to his first Xfinity series P2, at last week race at Talladega.

Having won the Daytona 500 twice as the crew chief for Larry in 1992 with Davey Allison and in 1998 with Dale Earnhardt, Larry McReynolds has had successful crew end overs with RCR and Petty enterprises racing. He had been a regular face for NASCAR fans since early 2000 as an analyst sharing his years of wisdom with fans during the race week.
