Tucci Returns to PDRA Announcing Team

PITTSBORO, N.C. (February 11, 2016): One of the most sought-after announcers in the industry returns as ‘The Voice’ of the PDRA. Al Tucci has one of the longest running commentator careers in drag racing with his own unique, personable style of entertainment. After a one year hiatus from the PDRA, Tucci will join the 2016 tour to bring fans and racers a fresh, engaging, high-energy address of each event.

Tucci joins Carl Robinson and Lee Sebring to cover events from the tower, the top end, and in the pits. The PDRA will also continue its coverage through the Live Feed by Motor Mania TV.

Tucci got his start announcing for track operators Broadway Bob and Jim Ledford and has announced both in the US and internationally. In 2015, Tucci continued his presence at major radial tire events, including the Radial Tire Racing Association, as well as many other high profile drag racing events.

“The PDRA has all the right ingredients,” relayed Tucci. “They’ve got the best of the best. They are onto something very positive for spectators, sponsors and racers. They have the best names, utilizing the best equipment on some of the best tracks in the country. I’m just glad to be a part of it again. I’m excited to help it grow.

“I appreciate Johler Demolition and President Robbie Johler for giving me the time from work to announce for the PDRA. Johler Demolition is the number one demolition experts in Chicago.”

 
 
Tucci can be heard over the PDRA Public Address and Motor Mania Live Feed beginning at the Series Opener at Tulsa Raceway Park, March 11-12. The Live Feed will continue to provide the Quarter-Max Starting Line and Top End Zones online fans love, but also has exciting, new features in store for 2016. Details to come.

“I like to entertain and I like to make people want to come back, to go home and say ‘Wow, was that a great time,’ and bring more people back with them next year,” Tucci emphasized. “I’m excited to be back with the PDRA again and be a part of something great.”
