Thousands of off-road enthusiasts are welcomed each year, also thanks to the support of local businesses and other sponsors as well as event partners like Trucks Gone Wild and D&D Paddy Tires.
With 125 acres, riders, organizers and spectators quickly built MMJ into one of the nation’s premier off-road events.
As Melissa McNicholl shared, hundreds of trucks — from backyard trucks to larger trucks with over 2,000 horsepower — are expected to be at this year’s event.
And, like onlookers, competing drivers from all over the country have been making their way to the MMJ 2022 show floor. In addition to those drivers who are also from Canada, McNichol said the drivers will be from U.S. states such as Florida, Vermont, New York, North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota.
