Good news for, in our opinion, the best female in motor racing broadcasting Krista Voda.
SPEED-TV announced on Wednesday that Voda will host its flagship at-track program Trackside beginning Friday at Bristol Motor Speedway (11 p.m. EDT).
Voda has been around for a while now, even showing up at Mosport International Raceway to do the SPEED Challenge race a few seasons back.
She currently hosts the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series pre-race show.
According to a SPEED-TV releases Voda “will anchor the energetic Friday night program for eight of the remaining 13 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series weekends. Her duties in the Truck Series remain priority, so John Roberts, host of NASCAR RaceDay Built by The Home Depot, will fill in on Trackside for the weekends when the Truck and Cup Series are not companion events to each other.”
Voda’s opportunity arose when longtime Trackside host Steve Byrnes was named fulltime anchor of NASCAR Race Hub, the network’s nightly news and information program.
Congrats to Krista
