Stable Supercars TV commentary team
By Thomas Miles
Date posted: 20 February 2024
For the ninth straight season, Neil Crompton and Mark Skaife will call the Supercars racing in 2024, but possibly not every session in an unchanged TV line up.
Since the second year of Fox Sports being the major broadcaster in 2016, Compton and Skaife have been the voices of the on-track action and that will remain the case when the new season fires up at the Bathurst 500 this weekend.
But they may not call every single session in 2024 with Chad Neylon and Garth Tander “set to make main game commentary cameos throughout the season” according to the Supercars website.
Both Neylon and Tander have subbed in for Crompton on the rare occasions he has been absent at Townsville 2021 and Bathurst 2023.
But for the majority of 2024 Neylon and Tander will continue their pit lane duties alongside fan favourite Mark Larkham and Riana Crehan.
One of the few stalwarts of the entire Fox Sports era has been Jess Yeates and she will continue to be the host for a 10th season.
The likes of Craig Lowndes, Richard Craill and Matt Naulty will handle the support events, which include Dunlop Series, Touring Car Masters, Aussie Racing Cars and V8 SuperUtes.
Channel 7 remains the free to air broadcaster and the familiar face of Mark Beretta and expert Jack Perkins will remain the faces of that broadcast.
The Bathurst 500 is one of six free to air rounds in the 2024 season.
The other races that will be screened on 7 are Darwin, Townsville, Bathurst 1000, Gold Coast and Adelaide.
This is the penultimate year of the current TV deal between Fox Sports and 7.

'description' => 'The Supercars Championship, currently known as the Repco Supercars Championship, is the premier motorsport category in Australasia and one of Australia\'s biggest sports. It originated from the Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC), which held its first race in 1960 at Gnoo-Blas in Orange, New South Wales. The ATCC evolved over the years, and in 1997, it was rebranded as the V8 Supercars Championship, eventually becoming the Supercars Championship we know today.
Some of the leading drivers in the history of the Supercars Championship include Peter Brock, who is often referred to as the "King of the Mountain" for his nine victories at the Bathurst 1000, a race that is considered one of the biggest in the series. Other notable drivers include Dick Johnson, Marcos Ambrose, Craig Lowndes, Shane van Gisbergen, Jamie Whincup, who holds the record for the most championship titles, and Mark Skaife, who has also been a dominant force in the series.
The Bathurst 1000, held at Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst, New South Wales, is arguably the most famous race in the Supercars calendar. Other significant races include the Sandown 500 and the Adelaide 500, which are known for their challenging circuits and thrilling competitions.
The Supercars Championship has grown to become a globally recognized series, known for its competitive racing and passionate fan base. It continues to be a major part of Australia\'s motorsport culture, attracting top drivers and teams from around the world.',
