| “It’s an honor to be part of this announce team that will lead NHRA into its next era of announcing,” Castello said. “NHRA Drag Racing is about passion and everyone in this talented team has it. Fans can expect a fast-paced broadcast covering the sport in new ways while also keeping what has made NHRA great for nearly 75 years. I’m excited to tell the stories of the greatest racers in the world.” Along with a variety of NHRA legends and current stars appearing in the booth, the in-venue broadcast team will also get periodic appearances from NHRA on FOX voices Brian Lohnes, Amanda Busick and Bruno Massel, providing NHRA fans an incredible array of talent and depth at national events. All 20 Mission Foods Drag Racing Series national events in 2025 can be viewed on NHRA.tv, with the price remaining at $159.99 for the entire season or $24.99 per national event. The test session at Gainesville Raceway on March 4-5 will also be streamed for free on NHRA.tv, which leads into the season-opening Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals on March 6-9 at the historic facility. Adding to the diverse announce team, NHRA also made significant investments in equipment and personnel to ensure a better listening and viewing experience, both for fans in attendance and watching at home on NHRA.tv. Those improvements include: - New timing and scoring graphics that will be implemented into the broadcast
- Upgraded PA system and audio equipment
- Additional national events with two jumbotrons for better in-venue experience
“We’re extremely excited to showcase this incredible variety of talented voices for our in-venue and NHRA.tv broadcasts for the 2025 season,” NHRA Senior Vice President Evan Jonat said. “Along with our standout announcers returning, by adding some new voices and having several different NHRA stars and legends join them in the booth, there will be so many great options who each bring something unique to our broadcasts. I think fans – both in-venue and watching on NHRA.tv – will be thrilled with the graphics and equipment upgrades as well. We’re all looking forward to a great year of these talented announcers showcasing the incredible action and amazing race teams in the NHRA.” On the local scene, NHRA will work closely with NHRA Member Tracks and its divisions to cultivate local talent throughout the year.
