I've heard that Dr.Jerry Punch is negotiating with Fox to possibily partner with Darrell Waltrip in the booth next season.He has four years left on his contract with ESPN but they have granted him permission to talk to Fox.
Nothing is set in concrete as Punch has said he is only interested if the move would put him in the broadcast booth.If Fox's offer is for him to continue as a pit reporter he will probably remain at ESPN.
Punch is a twenty year veteran broadcaster who in my opinion would make a great play by play man.He is respected by the fans and more importantly he has the trust of the drivers and their teams.He also loves the sport and it shows when he covers a race.
