Polite, well mannered, and relaxed, Ty Tessman has an aura much different that most pro racers out there. Hard working, motivated and, of course, talented beyond belief, this young Canadian claimed his first World Championship title in 2014 with his D812 adding to his career achievements. Wherever he is, Tessman is a true competitor at heart and is always looking to win. Here's the car he'll be driving in an attempt to win a third Pro Nitro Buggy title on Sunday evening.

The current record holder with the most wins here at the DNC is none other than HB's Ty Tessman. With a record of 8 titles, Tessman has found a lot of success over the years at the Dirt Nitro Challenge. He's got two wins in Pro Nitro Buggy, four in Pro Truggy and two in Pro E-buggy, Tessman's record speaks for itself. Here is Tessman's latest Hot Bodies D815 weapon that also carries his name.
