As always DNC was an event to remember

Report from Dirt Nitro Challenge 2026

Home and got a bit of sleep after traveling for the last 2 weeks. As always DNC was an event to remember with challenging track conditions come main time and people I only get to see a couple times a year. First off I can’t thank the Nelson family enough for letting us stay with them for the whole week, cooking, and pitting for me. It made it possible for my family to come out and spend some time with everyone and I really appreciate it!

Dax had a fantastic time roaming the pits with his walker and has officially started walking on his own without assistance!

On the racing side of things I had a good weekend in the electric classes with a 2nd in ET and a 3rd in NB. My qualifying wasn’t the best but I drove very well come main time. For the Nitro side of things I had a rough go of it. In NT I had a rough start before having to retire a few minutes in after a mechanical. In NB I had a great start and ran a great race for the first part before having some issues in the rear end that caused my pace to drop off. It sucks when you have issues with both especially at a race of this caliber but that is nitro racing sometimes. I’m happy with the progress we made on the setups from the beginning of the weekend until the end.

Lots of 8th scale racing planned this year as my next events will be the Texas Shootout next week followed up with PNB the week after. See everyone out there!
