🔥 WE’D LIKE ANOTHER SHOT AT THE DOME🔥

Three years ago, Carlos earned his first opportunity to compete at the Gateway Dirt Nationals . Since then, he’s gone from 9th.. to 5th.. to 3rd. Each year, he’s gotten better, learned more, and gotten a little closer to the top. After standing on the podium in 2025, he’s hungry for the chance to go back and finish the climb.

We know an invitation has to be earned, and we’re incredibly grateful for the opportunities Carlos has already been given. Now, we’re asking our fans, family, and friends to help us make our case.

📣 Vote for Carlos! You can vote every single day. One vote is great. A whole lot of votes is even better.😉 Every vote helps show the Gateway Dirt Nationals promoters just how much support is behind the 65x.
