Kaitlyn Vincie is a voice every Nascar fan now recognizes. For 14 years, Vincie has diligently worked her way to become one of Nascar on Fox's most reliable and recognized reporters.
The 2025 Nascar on Fox season proved to be her greatest yet, and it's not even over yet. She held her head up high as a pit reporter during a Cup Series race for the first time at Circuit of the Americas, showcasing the knowledge she's accumulated over the years. Vincie has become a trustworthy source for drivers, teams and fans, and her work is just getting started.
'This was all I ever wanted to do with my life once I was old enough to figure out a career path, I was dedicated to doing this, and it's been exactly what I had hoped for,' Vincie said. 'Fox has allowed me to do a little bit of everything at this point. I've done pit reporting, I've done pre-race hosting, I've done hosting of the daily shows. I've done awards show and red carpets features. So I've worked across all the different series that we've had.'
Vincie often co-hosts a podcast with 2014 Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick, called 'Kevin's Harvick's Happy Hour.'
'With Kevin, it's been incredible,' Vincie said. "He's a true character I just admire so much how he's gone about his career, his life, his family, the way he gives back to the sport. So that show has been really fun. It was such a pleasant surprise to be a part of it. And I love the laid back format too. That allows you to show a little more personality and to see his personality, too.

'The storytelling that's come out from that show, I think is really cool when he reflects back on different moments with his family, or race wins or certain things that happened to him at various racetracks. I always find that to be the best part is when he starts to really, dig back in the memory bank and share stuff that maybe people have never heard before. So it's been awesome working with with the Happy Hour group.'
Vincie started reporting from Langley Speedway in her early days. Her ascent to the top of Nascar broadcasts came with the SPEED Channel, which shortly thereafter became Fox Sports 1 and 2.
'Sometimes, it feels like it's just a pipe dream when you're working the trenches on Saturday night short track racing, which I still absolutely love,' she explaining. "But it's crazy to see what is has kind of happened."
When Vincie first found out she'd be a pit reporter for a Cup Series race, filling in for Jamie Little at Circuit of the Americas earlier this year, she shed tears of joy.
'It's the Sunday show,' she said. 'It was Circuit of the Americas. It was on Fox. I did take a moment before we got going with the pre-race show, I just walked the length of the grid to take it in, take that moment in and think about where I came from and where I've gotten and I'm very proud of my journey.'
Going forward, Vincie has modest goals for her growth as a leader in the Nascar media realm. She is an inspiration for many young women who want to have a career in Nascar, frequently giving advice to people looking to break into the industry.
As the Nascar on Fox portion of the Cup Series schedule comes to a close in just a few weeks, Vincie wants to play a bigger role for years to come.
'I would love to be a regular fixture on the Sunday show in some capacity, whether it's pit road or a pre-race type role,' she said.
Vincie, away from the track, is a creative business owner. She owns cabins in Lake Lureand Black Mountain, N.C.
Vincie concluded: 'We've had people go there to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, weddings. We've had people go there to mourn a loss in their family. And you read about all these experiences they're having, and you're realizing that you're creating a positive memory for them.
"You know your cabin space is creating a lifetime memory, potentially for a family or a group of friends or whatever it is, and that's really neat. It's neat to know that you created something because I designed and decorated them all myself. It's not like we had company come in and do it. It was strictly done by myself and my business partner.'
