Fraser McConnell (born September 9, 1998) is a Jamaican professional racing driver. McConnell is the most competitively successful Jamaican driver in the history of international rallycross racing—his championship victory in the 2019 Americas RallyCross Championship marked the first and only championship win by a Jamaican driver in the series’ history.[1] In 2021, McConnell became the first and only Jamaican to claim a supercar victory in the Rally X Nordic league.[2][3][4][5] In 2021, McConnell's debut supercar campaign received public recognition from Usain Bolt and Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness.[6][7]
McConnell currently competes professionally in the Group E class of Nitrocross under the Dreyer & Reinbold Racing team.
McConnell was born in Bog Walk in St. Catherine, Jamaica.[8] McConnell began karting, motocross, and rally at the age of eight.[8] He achieved early success throughout his junior career, being named Jamaican Driver of the Year twice,[2] and later claiming victory at Jamaica's nationally competitive Dover Race Track at the age of 16.[1]
