The2022–23 Nitro Rallycross Championship was the second season ofNitro Rallycross (Nitro RX) competition.
Series founderTravis Pastrana entered as the defending champion. The season saw the debut of the Group E class for the new FC1-X car.
The full schedule was revealed on March 29, 2022. After exclusively competing inNorth America in 2021, the series expanded to include races in six countries across two calendar years for its second season.[1] A round at theKymiRing in Finland was canceled due to the track's financial problems.[2] On November 7, 2022, it was announced that the round at Wild Horse Pass would be a double header, while the round in Saudi Arabia was removed from the schedule on the series' website.[3][4] On January 13, 2023, the series announced that the finale would be a double header, held again atGlen Helen Raceway in California.[5] Due to snowmelt issues with the track in Calgary, the initially planned championship round was cancelled, and a non-championship round was held instead. The season finale at Glen Helen then became a triple header for the Group E class.[6]
