FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEJarod DeAnda inked as the announcer for 2010 Xtreme Drift Circuit as more companies become a part of the XDC Super Show

March 12, 2010 (Tustin, Calif.) – In a further round of announcements for the Xtreme Drift Circuit, the series is proud to announce that Jarod DeAnda will be announcing at all six events of the 2010 Xtreme Drifting Circuit. In addition to being known as the ‘Voice of Formula Drift’, DeAnda’s announcing credits include DMCC, HyperFest, the Need for Speed video game series, Rally X at the summer X-Games, and snowmobiling at the winter X-Games. DeAnda’s passion, experience and knowledge for drifting will make him a great addition to the XDC.

“I’m stoked to be a part of the XDC Tour,” said DeAnda. “Meeting and announcing for the up-and-coming drivers across the country will be fun and education for both the fans and the competitors. Current Pro drivers had to start somewhere and now with sanctioning bodies like the XDC the drivers are going to have more opportunity to become professionals even sooner. Thanks to XDC for the opportunity and I’m looking forward to getting the crowd hyped!”

Hogan and Gleb Antanov announced as XDC Tour driversReality television star Nick Hogan recently announced his intention to compete in the 2010 XDC tour aboard a Nissan 350Z. Returning to the sport after a brief hiatus, Hogan’s career best result is a top three at the NOPI Pittsburgh event in 2007. Hogan will use this season to promote his charity, Keep It On The Track, which promotes safe driving and seat belt use across the country. Hogan is scheduled to be at all six XDC events, but may not compete until round two in Las Vegas if his car is not ready by March 20.

Coming from the Pacific Northwest community of drifters, Gleb Antonov has been announced as a 2010 XDC Tour driver, which will see him attend all six events as his vehicle will be transported on the XDC rig. A veteran of Formula Drift Pro-Am and the Evergreen Drift scene, Antonov also competed in a borrowed car in the Professional Russian Drift Series where he made it to the top-8. Antonov will compete in the same S13 that he drove throughout 2009 – which is the same S13 that he was pulled over in after drifting down Sunset Blvd after the Formula Drift Pro-Am event in Irwindale!

It's part of his court-appointed recompense, you betcha...

Sometimes you really have to wonder if all the programs started in this way...

Axle Foley style.

[Dattebayo]

Is that a banana in your tailpipe, or are you just happy to see me?

[PoorManQ45]

I got to meet Hulk and Brooke at the local country bar a few weeks ago.

Midget wrestling and boobs FTMFW!!!

[Chaotic_Warlord]

I personally know a couple of the drivers listed on their site. Can't say I'm happy to see Hogan back on the track seeing as he's a spoiled little rich kid and the rest of the guys on there are poor shmucks who clawed there way to be semi-pro and pro stus while he was just given a free ride. Either way It'll be interesting to see who sponsors him because his screw up is still very fresh and the friend that he hurt is still in the hospital.

[PoorManQ45]

I hope he crashes during qualifying at englishtown.

I hope he wraps it around a poll on the driver's side...

[Bubba1]

I hope he wraps it around a poll on the driver's side...

Hopefully no one will attend any events that feature him. If anyone is motivated enough, they can find out his sponsors and can voice displeasure to them...

[AZhitman]

WTF is this "XDC Super Show"?

[troskinatior]

WTF is this "XDC Super Show"?

I think it has to do with the X-games, maybe?

Hopefully no one will attend any events that feature him. If anyone is motivated enough, they can find out his sponsors and can voice displeasure to them...

I'm going because I live like 15 minuites away and I want to support my local drifters but I pray he crashes.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Troskinator, did you check out the drivers lineup yet? Angerman is one of the drivers, can't help but wonder if B-Rad and the rest of the Philly Drift crew will show up to support him, most of them can show Hogan how to really drift.
