BROOKLYN, Mich. — Danielle Trotta, the upstart NASCAR broadcast ace, turned heads at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday for the FireKeepers Casino 400, and it wasn’t just her razor-sharp analysis. Hosting Prime Video’s pre- and post-race coverage alongside Corey LaJoie and Carl Edwards, Trotta’s vibrant on-site presence and killer style stole the show, sparking a frenzy on X. Fans couldn’t stop buzzing about her outfit—a crisp cream colored top, and sleek pants that screamed trackside swagger without trying too hard.
Trotta’s no stranger to the spotlight. With over 15 years in the game, she’s a SiriusXM NASCAR Radio staple, co-hosting On Track weekdays with Larry McReynolds, delivering driver interviews and race breakdowns with unmatched depth, per SiriusXM.com.
Her Prime Video gig, covering five Cup Series races starting with the Coca-Cola 600, has elevated NASCAR’s streaming era. At Michigan, she nailed exclusive pit lane insights. Her ability to blend insider knowledge with fan-friendly energy has X users like @_kevinagustin calling her “crushing it.”
The outfit? A masterclass in summer style. Fans on X praised the bold yet professional look, with @lost_10mmsocket noting it as “pure class” that matched her commanding presence. It’s not just aesthetics—Trotta’s style reflects her role as a trailblazer in NASCAR’s digital pivot to Prime Video, part of a $7.7 billion TV deal, per AwfulAnnouncing.com. Her coverage, paired with LaJoie’s driver perspective and Edwards’ Hall of Fame cred, kept viewers glued for 45 minutes post-race, with Dale Jr. also joining the show, following Denny Hamlin’s thrilling victory.
Her Michigan performance—sharp, engaging, and stylish—shows why NASCAR tapped her for Prime’s debut season. From her Fox Sports days on NASCAR Race Hub to NBC’s Victory Lap, she’s dodged being typecast as “the NASCAR girl,” per Charlotte Observer. At 44, married to ex-driver Robby Benton, she’s a powerhouse.
Trotta and the NASCAR on Prime crew head to Mexico City next, where the broadcast partner will air the Cup Series race on Sunday afternoon.
