Larry McReynolds (born January 10, 1959 in Birmingham) is a racing anaylst on Fox Sports and was a long-time NASCAR crew chief. He currently lives in Mooresville, North Carolina. In the past, he has served as an advisor to Petty Enterprises, and as a minority owner in Bang! Racing.

NASCAR crew chief

His NASCAR career began in 1975. He worked his way up the ladder and took his first crew chief job in 1985. His first win as a crew chief was in 1988 at Watkins Glen with Ricky Rudd as the driver.

McReynolds was the winning crew chief for the 1992 Daytona 500, with driver Davey Allison, in the 28 Robert Yates Racing Ford Thunderbird. He joined Richard Childress Racing in 1996, and helped NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt win the 1998 Daytona 500.

Broadcaster

At the end of the 2000 NASCAR season, Larry made the hard decision to leave the Richard Childress owned #31 Lowe's Chevrolet and ventured into the Fox Sports broadcast booth with Mike Joy and three time Winston Cup champion Darrell Waltrip.

He was a roving reporter for the six Nextel Cup races on TNT during the 2007 season.
