Elliott vs. Pastrana rematch to headline Nitro Rallycross Phoenix race
DEFENDING NITRO RX TITLEHOLDER AND NASCAR CUP SERIES CHAMPION WILL BATTLE
F1 LEGEND JENSON BUTTON, EUROPEAN RX WINNER ANDREAS BAKKERUD AND MORE
November 12-13 at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park
Tickets Available Starting Monday, August 22 at 10am
With the dust settled from the action packed European leg of its inaugural global 2022/23 season, Nitro Rallycross has revealed more details for its upcoming U.S. run. NASCAR star Chase Elliott (USA) has now been added as a star car driver for Nitro RX Phoenix presented by A SHOC Energy.
This disruptive new force in motorsports returns to Wild Horse Motorsports Park on November 12-13 where Elliott will face off against global icon Travis Pastrana (USA) among an elite field. These two decorated drivers have history: Pastrana prevailed at Wild Horse Pass last year on his way to winning the 2021 Nitro RX season crown, while Elliott more than held his own in his rallycross debut during Nitro RX’s December’s 2021 finale.
Pastrana said: “As we gear up for the U.S. we’re so excited to welcome back Chase Elliott for Phoenix. Having a NASCAR Cup Series champion of Chase’s caliber return is so awesome, and it reaffirms our goal to challenge the best and most fearless drivers in motorsport while offering fans unparalleled racing excitement. But on race day it’s absolutely game on for the checkered flag.”
Elliott said: “I’m so excited to bang doors again with Travis at Nitro Rallycross in Phoenix. Last year was so much fun. I had a blast driving - the track was unreal. Flying over gap jumps definitely took some getting used to at first. But the thrill of putting your skills to the test on a course like this while competing against the best in rallycross is something I couldn’t get enough of.”
Pastrana and Elliott will battle in November while piloting the most powerful vehicle in rallycross: the revolutionary all-electric FC1-X, Capable of producing the electric equivalent of 1,070 peak horsepower (800 kW), the FC1-X can accelerate from 0-60 in just 1.4 seconds, launching faster off the line than an F1 car.
In order to top the podium, Pastrana and Elliott will have to face off against a lineup packed with the world’s best drivers, including Andreas Bakkerud (NOR) and Robin Larsson (SWE) of RX Cartel, who each have gotten a champagne bath after Nitro RX’s first two rounds. Legendary F1 world champion Jenson Button (GBR) is also aiming to hoist the Group E trophy as well as Oliver Eriksson (SWE), Fraser McConnell (JAM) and more.
They will have to face Nitro RX’s tough tracks, which push competitors’ limits with huge gap jumps, banked turns and steep berms. Combining the intense racing of rallycross with the big air thrills of Nitro Circus, Nitro Rallycross Phoenix presented by A SHOC Energy is truly where cars will fly and tracks thrill.
Tickets go on sale Monday, August 22nd at 10am and will be available at nitrorallycross.com. Both general admission tickets ($20 single-day for Saturday / $25 single-day for Sunday) as well as VIP Club Nitro RX passes ($100 single-day for Saturday / $125 single-day for Sunday) will be available (all prices plus additional taxes and fees). Kids under the age of 12 can also enjoy all of the high-speed action for free. More information on Club Nitro RX’s premium amenities is detailed below.
Nitro RX PHX presented by A SHOC Energy mark the third American round on Nitro RX’s 2022/23 global calendar following the U.S. kickoff at Minnesota’s ERX Motor Park and a Los Angeles stop at Glen Helen Raceway. These dates follow a swing of European races, which began with the June series launch at the U.K.’s legendary Lydden Hill Race Circuit followed by a Sweden round last month. Additional upcoming stops include races in Saudi Arabia, Quebec and Alberta, all building to the first global Nitro RX season finale next March.
It’s always interesting to see matchups like Elliott vs. Pastrana, especially when there’s a chance to settle things on the track. Events like Nitro Rallycross bring together not just speed, but also experience, quick decisions, and the ability to handle pressure when conditions get unpredictable.
I also like how motorsports can attract people who enjoy competition even if they don’t follow every race. Sometimes you come across these events while browsing different platforms out of curiosity, and the mix of skill and risk makes them worth watching.

Looking forward to seeing how the rematch turns out
https://kasynozszybkawyplata.com comes to mind seeing the FC1-X specs, because 1,070 horsepower and a 1.4-second launch is the kind of thing that makes you wonder how drivers adjust their timing compared to anything else they've raced. The detail about Elliott having to get used to the gap jumps last year stuck with me, since Pastrana clearly has that rhythm down and it'll be interesting to see if a year of experience closes the gap. Bakkerud and Larsson arriving with wins already probably makes this less of a two-man show than the headline suggests.
