The 22th edition of the legendary Dirt Nitro Challenge has just been held in California. The race was started in 2000 by Joey “The Dirt” Christensen: a former art/sculpture major who combined his eye for design with his love for RC Racing. Since the start of his business in 1999, he now has 4 major races with another one potentially in the pipeline. Last year, Joey was able to make a permanent track facility in Perris, California where he now holds many weekly races along with the DNC.
