Krista Voda Kelley (born May 31, 1974) is an American sportscaster who covers auto racing as the play-by-play announcer for the ARCA Menards Series on MAVTV. She previously worked for NASCAR on Fox and NASCAR on Speed from 2003 to 2014 as the host of the pre-race show for the Truck Series and beginning in 2007 as a pit reporter for the NASCAR Cup Series. She also was a fill-in sideline reporter for Fox's NFL coverage. She then worked as the pre and post-race show host for the Cup Series for NBC from 2015 to 2020.
On November 7, 2020. Voda announced on her Facebook page that she would not be returning to NBC to host pre and post-race programs for NASCAR races once the 2020 season ends in mid-November 2020. NBC eliminated her position due to COVID-19 financial problems and the network could not find another role for her.[4]
In 2021, Voda joined MAVTV as the host of their Lucas Oil On the Edge show. In 2022, she returned to calling races as the play-by-play for MAVTV's ARCA Menards Series races, replacing Bob Dillner, who was promoted to a managerial/supervisory-type role with the network.[5] She became the second woman to be a play-by-play in motorsports after Jamie Little, who became the play-by-play for the ARCA races on Fox in 2021.
When it was announced that she would be the play-by-play for the ARCA Menards Series on MAVTV, the press release referred to her as Krista Kelley (her married name). Her social media accounts are still "Krista Voda". Neither Krista herself nor MAVTV have yet to further specify which last name she will be using on-air during the season.
