Jamaican motorsport star Fraser McConnell is gearing up for an exhilarating third season in Nitrocross, boosted by a new sponsorship deal with automotive giant Dodge.
The partnership will see McConnell driving a 1,000-plus-horsepower Dodge Hornet R/T FC1-X electric-powered car for the 2024-25 season, which kicks off this weekend at the Richmond Raceway in Virginia.
McConnell, known for his powerful performances on the track, expressed excitement about the new partnership. “It’s an honor to have a powerhouse brand like Dodge come on board to support us this season,” McConnell said. “Their commitment to motorsport aligns perfectly with our team’s vision for success, and I’m excited to see what we can achieve together.”
