Brian Deegan will return to Nitrocross’ headline Group E class at Glen Helen Raceway following his debut in the category last month.
Deegan will again race for Dreyer & Reinbold JC, with whom he made a final appearance in the second half of the double-header event at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Phoenix.
“I’m stoked to be back in the driver’s seat for Nitrocross,” said Deegan. “The thrill of off-road racing has always been a passion of mine, and I can’t wait to showcase what we can do with the incredible team at Dreyer & Reinbold Racing JC. I’m stoked to come back and race in front of all of our SoCal fans again!”
Deegan will be a part of a nine-car Group E field at Glen Helen – which will also include series debutant Viktor Vranckx, who will be driving for his own VMV Racing team – and will be one of four entrants from the DRR JC stable, including RX Cartel drivers Robin Larsson and Andreas Bakkerud, and Fraser McConnell, who won the first of two finals at the most recent round in Phoenix.
“Having Brian Deegan back with the team is an excellent pairing,” said Dreyer & Reinbold Racing JC team owner Dennis Reinbold. “His legacy in action sports and his previous success in Nitrocross make him the perfect fit for our team. We’re ready to get back to the track and perform.”
As well as racing in Group E, Deegan is also slated to compete in the Side-by-Side support category along with fellow Group E racer Travis Pastrana.
