In the adrenaline-charged final, things quickly heated up into an intense battle with none of the competitors willing to take a back seat. Afterwards, drivers gave the inaugural event rave reviews, with Tanner Foust proclaiming it had, “The most unique, exciting, fun, amazing Rallycross track ever built.” Foust added, “Universally, all the drivers are saying: This is the most incredible experience I’ve had in a rallycross car.”

Beyond the track, Nitro World Games will offer even more premier motorized competition including the record-breaking Moto Quarterpipe, game-changing FMX Best Trick and the new addition of RSD Super Hooligan National Championship flat track racing.
