Mike Joy, a former New England short-track announcer who occasionally races a sports car at the age of 71, will once again anchor FOX’s television coverage of the Daytona 500. “The thing about time and experience is that it cures you of that,” Joy continued. “My dad enjoyed sports cars and he had neat cars,” Joy recalled. “Being at MRN and being right at the pulse of NASCAR, there were occasional opportunities to do television. Joy has anchored the NASCAR on FOX telecasts since February 2001 when the network ventured into NASCAR Cup Series racing. After that, I hope there is an opportunity for me,” Joy noted.
