The CW broadcaster Parker Kligerman wins NASCAR Xfinity Daytona race

The CW reporter Parker Kligerman pulled double duty by interviewing Connor Zilisch before the race then driving his car to victory.

"I did get confirmation. He was speaking with the medical folks."

"Camera's over here. That's great. I'm obviously professional at this."

"I said the Xfinity Series was a dumpster fire, it's not. A dumpster fire is contained, and that series is not right now."

When speculation arose last year that The CW might do some races remotely, some fans (and media) balked at the idea.

"I thought Kyle blended in there really well like he has been there for quite some time."

"My goodness Kyle Busch is great in the broadcast booth … His ability to explain details is phenomenal."

Oops.

"My PR rep right now is like eyeballing me really hard …I forgot what they told me to say when people ask me this."

"For The CW to top each of the “Big Four” on a competitive weekend afternoon is almost certainly unprecedented."

"I still have the checkered flag."

Saturday's race marks the most viewers of any Xfinity Series race since 2022.

"I will not be commenting any further until we are able to present what I believe is a very, very valid case."

"About that..."

Alexander will stay busy this year, as he's also calling NASCAR Cup Series races for Prime Video and TNT.

"Do I think our fans will find it? I am confident that they will."

"I hope they do not."

The race peaked at more than 1 million viewers.

"This makes it really difficult for the average fan to find the race."

The CW continues to add more live sports.

In addition to the Xfinity Series being likely to go exclusively to streaming, a Cup Series package of midseason races may head there as well.

What will move to a streaming service?

Ellis will have Raising Cane's on his car at Talladega.

No, Busch did not get his 200th victory Saturday.
