Ryan Maifield takes the triple crown at 2021 The Dirt Nitro Challenge

For the 2021 edition of The Dirt Nitro Challenge, Joey, Aaron and their team settled down at the famous Thunder Alley Raceway in Beaumont, California. The event attracted almost 700 entries and after three rounds of qualifying the Phenom Dakotah Phend (TLR/O.S.Engines/Trinity/JConcepts) was able to set the overall TQ in the Pro Nitro Buggy, Pro E-buggy and Pro Nitro Truck classes. The 45-minute Nitro Buggy final started at night and Cole Ogden (HB Racing/REDS Racing/VP Powermaster/Performa Racing/Hot Race Tyres), coming from the 2nd spot on the grid was able to lead a ton of laps however slowly Ryan Maifield (Mugen Seiki/Maxima Engines/Flash Point Fuel/Hobbywing/JConcepts) reduced the gap and after a slight mistake from Cole, Ryan was able to grab the lead. Ryan brought home the win from Cole in second after a battle with the TQ holder while Tanner Denney (Mugen Seiki/Bullitt/Muchmore/Pro-Line Racing) rounded out the top 3.

The E-buggy finals saw Ryan taking another win from Dakotah and Spencer Rivkin (Team Associated/Mx Maxima//Hobbywing/JConcepts) in second and third respectively.

The Pro Nitro Truck was won by Ryan, followed once again by Dakotah. Joe Bornhorst (Tekno RC/BLOK Engines/Tekin/JConcepts) ended the day on the third spot.
