Even in its first years, the Dirt Nitro Challenge drew factory stars and the fastest up-and-coming young drivers eager to compete against top talent on an incredible track. It makes sense, then, that the winners of the previous sixteen years of the DNC represent many of the best 1/8-scale nitro off-road racers in the world. In fact, all but one of the ten drivers who've captured a pro nitro buggy or truck title at the DNC have also won a ROAR 1/8-scale buggy national title - and that one outlier is a two-time European Champion.

Scroll down for a chart showing every former Pro 1/8-scale class winner of 1/8-scale off-road's biggest race.
