Jansson replaces Guerra for Nitrocross Phoenix

Casper Jansson will make his debut in Nitrocross’ premier class, Group E, this weekend, filling in for Benito Guerra at the Olsbergs MSE team after the Mexican withdrew from the event due to illness.

Jansson, the 2021 Nitrocross NEXT champion, will become the first driver in the Nitrocross-era of rallycross in the U.S. to graduate directly from the discipline’s main feeder division.

“This is amazing – it’s a dream come true,” said Jansson. “The car is really great to drive. I’ve driven it twice before in testing. Now, though, it’s in competition. I’m really excited.
