These two factors alone make this race, in every bit of the word … legendary. The Dirt Crew has built a reputation of creating some of the most technical and challenging tracks and no one does it better than Joey and Aaron. Thanks to their hard work and unique track building style, drivers are blessed with some epic racing that’s not often seen at other events.
