| Muddin first became popular in the ‘70s when lifted trucks became more popular. Mud bogs first took place at county fairs. By the 1980s, promoters like the USHRA began building mud pits in arenas and stadiums, increasing the exposure of the sport. The National Mud Racing Organization (NMRO) was formed in 1988 by Dayton, Ohio Native Gary Baker to create a standard rule set and form a national championship. Today the NMRO is the only national championship for mud racing. NMRO is also now owned and organized under Family/Special Events, who is the company behind the 4 Wheel Jamboree National event series. In 2009 FlyingMUD.com was formed to cover the sport of mud racing. The site offers online media from mud racing events all over the USA. |  |
