The Top Dog Championships
The annual DVEN/Rally4Vets Tops Dog Championships provide the amateur motorsports community the opportunity to reduce the annual veteran suicide death toll and sponsors the opportunity to engage with the 10+ million active-duty and veteran community.
The competition is open to everyone: veterans, active duty personnel, and civilian drivers who simply wish to support their veteran community.
Drivers compete in classes based on their car's technical specifications and their own driving experience. This ensures everyone competes on an equal basis.
The DVEN/Rally4Vets op Dog Championships are the only inter-service military motorsports championships in the world!
The team that accumulates the most points across all categories is the overall Top Dog Champion for the year. Each car class crowns an individual Top Dog Champion. Winners join the DVEN/Rally4Vets "Top DGZ."
We look forward to seeing you at our 2026 events!
