Welch is one of the network's rotating Camping World Truck Series play-by-play announcers for the series in 2015, and was named on November 18, 2015 the permanent play-by-play announcer for the Camping World Truck Series after the network ran the last three months of the 2014 season and the entire 2015 season without one.
