PRN Elevates Brad Gillie To Lead Anchor
• The Performance Racing Network (PRN) announced that Brad Gillie will step off of pit road and up into the broadcast booth to assume the role of lead anchor alongside Mark Garrow, beginning with the 2025 NASCAR season. Gillie will succeed longtime lead anchor Doug Rice, who recently retired after a distinguished 36-year career. “The obvious choice to succeed me is Brad Gillie,” said Rice. “He has been an integral part of our broadcast team for decades. He is an excellent broadcaster that our fans trust and are very familiar with, which I know will make this a smooth transition.”
Gillie’s career started in 1998 at Texas Motor Speedway. Throughout his 16-year tenure at the track, Gillie was the Manager of Short Track Operations, GM of the Lone Star Legends racing series and host of the Speedway’s Total Access syndicated radio show. In 2006, Gillie began broadcasting live NASCAR events with PRN, primarily on pit road as one of the network’s O’Reilly Auto Parts pit reporters.
“I am truly grateful to PRN and Speedway Motorsports for the opportunity to continue building on a long legacy of exceptional broadcasts,” said Gillie. “It’s an honor to move up to the anchor chair and, along with our great team, deliver the excitement of NASCAR to our listeners and affiliate stations. I also want to thank Doug Rice for his friendship and mentorship. His values and commitment to excellence have made PRN an elite network recognized throughout the motorsports and radio industries.”
Fans can also hear Gillie weekly as co-host on PRN’s Fast Talk and host of The Late Shift on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, Channel 90. In addition to his on-air role with PRN, Gillie serves as Director of Programming and Affiliations.
The 2025 PRN broadcast season kicks off with Ambetter Health 400 weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway, February 22-23.
