Kelli Stavast

Kelli Stavast is an American sportscaster best known as a former pit reporter for NBC Sports NASCAR and IndyCar Series coverage. She worked on NBC’s Cup and Xfinity Series races after joining the network in 2014, and also covered events like the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio and the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. She began her motorsports career in the early 2000s covering off-road racing for NBC and SPEED, despite initially aiming to cover football after graduating from Chapman University.

Stavast has been recognized for her versatility across multiple motorsports, including IMSA, Red Bull Air Race, and Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series before moving to NASCAR. Her role as a pit reporter involved gathering team updates and conducting interviews from the infield and garage during live races. She remained active with NBC Sports through 2021 before stepping back from regular broadcasting.

In late 2025, Stavast served as event chair for the third annual Viva St. Jude fundraiser at Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa in Las Vegas. The two-day charity event raised over $1 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and featured a concert headlined by Stevie Wonder and Journey vocalist Steve Augeri.
