NASCAR Bristol 2015: Start time, TV schedule and how to watch online

Fox begins race coverage at 12:30 p.m. ET with Fox NASCAR Sunday, with host Chris Myers along with analysts Darrell Waltrip and Michael Waltrip plus reporters Jamie Little, Chris Neville and Matt Yocum. Race coverage begins at 1 p.m., with the green flag expected at approximately 1:13 p.m.
Play-by-play man Mike Joy will call the Food City 500, in the booth with analysts Larry McReynolds and Darrell Waltrip, plus Little, Neville and Yocum.
Matt Kenseth won the pole position for the race, but McReynolds is focused on only two drivers on Sunday — points leader Kevin Harvick, with six top-two finishes in seven races in 2015, and Jimmie Johnson, who won last week in Texas.
“I can’t say one of them has a bigger advantage than the other. The most amazing statistic is that of the past six mile-and-a-half races, Johnson and Harvick have won all six,” McReynolds said. “More unusual is that they keep alternating, and when Johnson won his three, Harvick was runner-up. I can’t decipher which one of them is stronger at this point in the season, but there is no question they are the two best teams in the sport right now.”
Online coverage will be available using the Fox Sports Go app. In addition, radio coverage from Bristol will be carried by Performance Racing Network and Sirius XM NASCAR Channel 90.
The race will re-air on Fox Sports 1 at 10 a.m. ET Monday, and again at 1 p.m. Monday on Fox Sports 2.
