ABC and ESPN have shuffled their NASCAR team, moving
Rusty Wallace from lead race analyst to lead studio analyst. He'll be replaced in the booth by
Dale Jarrett, who is retiring from racing. Jarrett, the 1999 NASCAR Cup champion, covered Busch Series races for ABC and ESPN2 last season. He is turning in his car keys after the first five races of this year's Sprint Cup series. In addition,
Allen Bestwick will join Wallace and
Brad Daugherty on the studio team. (Say goodbye to Brent Musberger and Suzy Kolber.) Bestwick worked the pits for ABC and ESPN last year.
