After two straight years of growth Nitro Jam entered the 2012 season with one goal and one goal only in mind – continue providing the best motorsports entertainment package in the business to the hundreds of thousands of loyal fans across the United States and Canada.
All told Nitro Jam teams racked up nearly 20,000 miles on the road this season with stops in Tucson, Arizona, San Antonio, Texas, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Salt Lake City, Utah, Edmonton, Alberta, Grand Bend, Ontario and Martin, Michigan.
When all was said and done four drivers stood at the head of the class as Peter Gallen and Bill Evans became the first two-time champions under the new Nitro Jam format in AMSOIL Prostalgia Nitro Funny Car and Pro Fuel Dragster respectively, while Jay Turner picked up his first win in Nitro Harley and Kyle Hough won a thriller in Fuel Altered.
Add in Bruce Litton’s mini Top Fuel championship earned during the Canadian portion of the Nitro Jam Tour and it made for an incredible year that began in the desert of Arizona in the middle of winter and ended on a cool, rainy summer evening in western Michigan.
