For the second race in a row to start the 2022-23 Nitro Rallycross season, it was the Monster Energy RX Cartel-backed DRR JC duo of Andreas Bakkerud and Robin Larsson in the first two spots at the end of a Group E final at Strangnas Motorstadion in Sweden. This time, though, it was Bakkerud on top—much to the delight of the local fans.

After a successful debut round at the legendary Lydden Hill, Nitro Rallycross continues the European leg of its 2022-23 season this weekend in Sweden at Strangnas Motorstadion. Just like Lydden Hill before it, Strangnas has received a set of upgrades to bring it up to NRX spec—this time including the return of the gap jump—and will have four classes doing battle over the weekend.
