Fraser McConnell’s team secures Dodge sponsorship for Nitrocross season
Jamaica’s motorsport sensation Fraser McConnell is set to begin his third season in Nitrocross this weekend with exciting news — his team, Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, has officially secured a sponsorship deal with Dodge.
The partnership means McConnell will race in the 1,000-plus horsepower Dodge Hornet R/T FC1-X electric-powered car throughout the 2024-25 season, which gears off at the newly introduced Richmond Raceway in Virginia.
McConnell, who has rapidly ascended the ranks in Nitrocross, is eager to begin this season with the backing of Dodge, a brand synonymous with power and performance.
“It’s an honour to have a powerhouse brand like Dodge come on board to support us this season. Their commitment to motorsport aligns perfectly with our team’s vision for success, and I’m excited to see what we can achieve together,” said McConnell.
Last season, McConnell made waves in the Nitrocross circuit, capturing multiple wins and securing a second-place finish, just behind champion Robin Larsson. With victories in Phoenix and Las Vegas and a runner-up spot in Round Six, McConnell is determined to build on his previous success.
As he prepared for the Richmond race this weekend, McConnell said he was confident and ready to make an impact.
“This new partnership with Dodge is a huge boost for the team, and I can’t wait to hit the track. Richmond is a brand-new venue, which makes it an exciting challenge for everyone. We’re going to give it everything we’ve got, and with the support of Dodge, we’re ready to take on the world.”
Fans can look forward to a thrilling Nitrocross season, with 10 rounds spanning five venues, including stops in Richmond, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Miami, and Las Vegas, running from September 7 through March 2. Fraser McConnell and his team, now powered by Dodge, are poised to deliver an unforgettable season filled with high-speed, adrenaline-fuelled action.
