Jamaica’s Motorsport Athlete of the Year Fraser McConnell says he’s delighted to extend his relationship with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing after securing the second spot on the podium for the 2023/24 Nitrocross season.

While Robin Larsson clinched his second consecutive title in the series, the Jamaican’s stellar track record continues to flourish, as he finished one position higher than his third-place finish in the 2022/23 campaign, encouraging Dreyer & Reinbold’s decision to secure his talents ahead of the upcoming season.

During the 2023/24 season, McConnell demonstrated remarkable skill and determination throughout by securing a decisive victory in Oklahoma on June 16, marking an impressive start.

Mechanical issues hindered his performance, possibly preventing him from reaching the podium in rounds two and three in Utah in August. However, he bounced back strongly in rounds five and six in Phoenix, Arizona, finishing first and second on November 10 and 11.

“We are thrilled to announce Fraser McConnell’s continued partnership with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing for the upcoming NitroCross season,” said team owner Dennis Reinbold.

“Fraser’s exceptional talent and dedication to excellence embody the spirit of our team, and we are confident that together, we will achieve even greater heights in the 2024-25 season,” he added.

Meanwhile, McConnell is gearing up for another thrilling season of sprint racing in 2024/25 and says he is looking forward to a third season with the team.

“I’m happy to continue this opportunity with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing. The team has felt like family over the last two years and it’s a huge honour to continue with the best team in the paddock,” McConnell said before reflecting on his performance in the last season.

The Jamaican said his ambition is to continue his upward trajectory and top the podium this time around.

“It is so incredible to finish on the podium once again. Last year third, this year second, next year I’m coming for that trophy! We definitely have what it takes to win the championship. We finished strong here in Las Vegas and next season will be no different,” McConnell added.

The fourth season of Nitrocross gets underway on September 7 & 8 with rounds one and two slated for a new venue, Richmond Raceway, in Virginia.
