Jeff Gordon announced that 2015 will be his final season as a full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver.

Jeff Gordon's TV career will start this year, as the soon-to-be-former Sprint Cup Series driver will serve as a rotating analyst for FOX Sports' Xfinity Series broadcasts.

Gordon, who announced last week he will step out of his No. 24 car following the season, will switch off his Xfinity Series (formerly called Nationwide Series) analyst role with defending Cup champion Kevin Harvick and former Cup champ Brad Keselowski.

Those are just part of many changes for FOX, which goes into this season splitting TV broadcasting duties with NBC. The news will officially be announced Monday.

A look at FOX Sports' NASCAR lineup this season:

-- The familiar booth of Mike Joy, Larry McReynolds and Darrell Waltrip will remain intact for Cup Series broadcasts. Chris Myers will continue to host the Cup Series pre-race show alongside Waltrip and his brother, Michael. Fox and Fox Sports 1 have the first 16 races of the season.

-- Matt Yocum, Jamie Little and Chris Neville will serve as pit reporters for both Cup and Xfinity broadcasts, joined by Vince Welch for the latter.

-- Adam Alexander will serve as the play-by-play announcer for Xfinity races with analysts Michael Waltrip and the rotating trio of Gordon, Harvick and Keselowski. FOX and Fox Sports 1 have the first 14 races of the season.

-- With Steve Byrnes battling cancer, Mike Joy, Adam Alexander and newcomer Brian Till will rotate play-by-play duties for the Camping World Truck Series (Joy will call the season opener). They'll be joined in the booth by Phil Parsons and Michael Waltrip. Fox Sports 1 has the entire Truck schedule save for the October race at Talladega Superspeedway, which Fox will telecast.

-- Pit reporters for the Truck Series include Hermie Sadler, Kaitlyn Vincie, Welch and Yocum.

-- Danielle Trotta will host NASCAR RaceDay during the first half of the season and John Roberts will host the second half. They'll be joined by analysts McReynolds and Kenny Wallace.

-- Vincie, former NASCAR.com reporter Alan Cavanna and newcomer Andrew Doud will serve as reporters, alongside the team of pit reporters for RaceDay. They replace reporters Bob Dillner and Wendy Venturini.

-- Trotta will host the Xfinity Series pre-race show with McReynolds and Wallace; Roberts will host the Truck Series pre-race show with former Truck champ Todd Bodine (former host Krista Voda left for NBC).

-- FOX Sports 1's daily news show, NASCAR Race Hub, will be hosted by Trotta, Alexander and Roberts and has added a large pool of analysts. Among them: Wally Dallenbach, Jeff Hammond, McReynolds, plus a rotation of AJ Allmendinger, Greg Biffle, Drew Blickensderfer, Bodine, Chad Knaus and Joey Logano.
