SPEED has signed veteran sports journalist Krista Voda to a multi-year deal that will include hosting the network's pre-race show for all of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races in 2007. Voda also recently signed with FOX Sports as a pit reporter for their NASCAR Nextel Cup Series races in '07.

"Krista is a tremendous talent with great passion for her work," said Frank Wilson, SPEED VP of Production. "She understands racing, knows the players, and has a great deal of experience and credibility covering NASCAR and all forms of racing."

Voda began her work in NASCAR for FOX Sports and SPEED in 2002 as a reporter and host for Totally NASCAR. Over the last several years, Voda has worked on multiple programs for both networks, including SPEED's coverage of the popular Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross Series.

"The competitors, their families, and everyone involved with the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series welcomed me with open arms last year and I'm honored to be back," Voda said. "I'm also excited that the pre-race show, which was introduced last fall, will be returning for the full 2007 season and beyond. All of us who cover trucks believe the series produces the best racing …and that the racing is done by some of the sport's most interesting and most genuine people."
