On Sunday, before the United States Grand Prix, Team JROD owner and driver Jared Pierce announced that the Z8Games branded game Crossfire would sponsor his team's cars for the Karjala round of the 2012 RBWS Season. "We are proud to announce that Z8Games has reached an agreement with our team to sponsor our car for Karjala this season and possibly more in the future.", Pierce said in an interview. Fellow Team JROD driver Shaun Porter was quoted saying "I did play that game a few times when Jrod wasn't there and it's somewhat fun. Can't see me really getting into it as much as he does, though. Still, it's great to have such a popular game sponsor our team's cars."
