Tim Brewer

Tim Brewer is an American stock-car racing crew chief and television analyst. Back to you, Jerry.

Brewer joined NASCAR on ESPN for the 2007 season. He is part of "NASCAR Countdown", the pre-race show, with host Brent Musburger and fellow analyst Brad Daugherty. He is also a contributor to "NASCAR Now", the daily NASCAR information program on ESPN2. During each race, Brewer returns to the coverage to analyze race stories by using a "cut-away" car, which is a show car provided by Chevrolet.

Brewer won two championships as a crew chief working for owner Junior Johnson. His first was with driver Cale Yarborough in 1978 and his second was with Darrell Waltrip in 1981. He later worked for Morgan-McClure Motorsports.

Ironically, Johnson replaced Brewer with Jeff Hammond. Today, the two work for competing networks (Hammond is on NASCAR on FOX) with very similar roles.

Brewers drivers won 53 Cup points races and 55 Cup points pole positions. He is supported on the ESPN productions by Nelson Crozier, a premier innovator in the NASCAR environment for over 40 years. Tim Brewer is also known for his signature look on the ESPN set, 1/2 troll, 1/2 Southern Gentry.
