Nitto Tire dominates the 2023 King of The Hammers Powered by OPTIMA Batteries with three race wins

CYPRESS, Calif. (Feb. 15, 2023) – Nitto Tire, a leading manufacturer of high-performance tires, had a stellar performance at the Progressive 2023 King of The Hammers Powered by OPTIMA Batteries, winning three races. The event, known for its grueling off-road racing and rock-crawling challenges, was held February 4-11 in Johnson Valley, California.

For the second consecutive year, the top winner for Nitto Tire was Raul Gomez, who won the prestigious Nitto Race of Kings, which brought 104 racers to compete in a grueling race that tested driving skill, endurance and agility.

In addition to Gomez’s victory, Nitto Tire had two more wins in the 4WP Everyman Challenge and the Can-Am UTV Hammers Championship. Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Loren Healy won the 4600 class of the 4WP Everyman Challenge for the second consecutive year, while Casey Currie took the top spot in the Can-Am UTV Hammers Championship Open UTV class. All were driving on Nitto tires.
