History
NASCAR Victory Lane debuted in 2001 with hosts John Roberts and Derrike Cope. In 2010, Kyle Petty replaced Jimmy Spencer, who was reassigned to other NASCAR programming. Jeff Hammond replaced Petty for the four of the six TNT races, with Jimmy Spencer doing the other two. Rick Allen, the play-by-play announcer for Speed's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races, replaced Roberts in 2012 while he is reassigned to the NASCAR on FOX studio as a result of Chris Myers' bereavement leave. The show moved to Fox Sports 1 on the August 18, 2013 edition, after the channel replaced Speed, and was shortened from 60 Minutes to 30 Minutes.
