Dustyn Stortzum Named New Fonner Park Announcer

Updated: February 3, 2023 at 9:22 am

Dustyn Stortzum, a Nebraska native, has been named the new track announcer to begin the 2023 Thoroughbred racing season at Fonner Park. Stortzum replaces Grand Island native Steve Anderson, who called races for 19 years at Fonner Park but passed away in 2022 after a battle with cancer.

“I would like to thank my mentors, my parents and my sister for supporting me through all the ups and downs in my early broadcasting career,” said Stortzum. “Without their support, I wouldn't be in this position today.”
