Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) will field two fulltime entries in the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series in 2022 – one in Top Fuel for nine-time event winner Leah Pruett and one in Funny Car for 39-time event winner Matt Hagan.
On an overcast and partly sunny, windy day, the Texas Motorplex hosted the annual Fall Nationals, the 17th race of the 2021 NHRA season. This means there are only four races to go in the Countdown to the Championship.
Reigning Pro Stock champion Erica Enders can’t put her finger on why her Melling Performance/Elite Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro SS has been so strong at World Wide Technology Raceway through the years.

Tim Wilkerson won in Funny Car, while Josh Hart upset Brittany Force, Kyle Koretsky defeated all-time great Greg Anderson, and Angelle Sampey picked up her 44th career victory over Joey Gladstone in Pro Stock Motorcycle.
The stars were aligned for Greg Anderson to pass Warren Johnson as the all-time Pro Stock race winner: home race with spectator support from his car’s primary sponsor, low elapsed time of the event in the semifinals against reigning champion Erica Enders, advancing to his 165th career final round.
The 2023 Cup Series champion from High Point, North Carolina, led a race-high 115 of 301 laps and fended off Bubba Wallace following a late two-tire pit strategy call to notch his 20th career victory at the Magic Mile.
Four-time Funny Car world champion Matt Hagan moved into the points lead, defeating Jordan Vandergriff in the final round in front of another huge crowd on Sunday at Brainerd International Raceway to win the 44th annual NHRA Brainerd Nationals.
