Nitro Rallycross has announced several broadcast deals along with the addition of broadcaster Jarod DeAnda.

DeAnda, the voice of Formula Drift and a car culture ambassador, will join Andrew Coley in the broadcast booth to provide on-air commentary. There will be further additions to the presentation team to come ahead of the inaugural season this year.

“I am here as a host and an announcer but also as a huge fan. With Nitro Rallycross, Travis Pastrana and the Thrill One team are definitely turning it up,” DeAnda said. “By the racers [and] for the racers… it’s the ideal scenario.”
