NHRA

Alexis DeJoria was finally able to snap a four-year winless streak Sunday afternoon and nearly had a picture-perfect weekend that started on Saturday.

On a cool, but sunny afternoon at Bristol Motor Dragway, the Thunder Valley Nationals were held and we saw veterans return to the winner circle. Alexis DeJoria in Funny Car, Mike Salinas in Top Fuel and Angelle Sampey in Pro Stock Motorcycle all won in their respective categories.

Another semifinal appearance and bonus points accumulated in qualifying at the Thunder Valley Nationals were beneficial to Brittany Force in her quest for a second National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Top Fuel championship.

Friday afternoon set the tone for what has been been a wild weekend with Tim Wilkerson, Brittany Force and Matt Smith provisionally setting the No. 1 spot.

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.

After more than four decades of racing around in circles, Tony Stewart has embarked on a straight and narrow path, albeit at more than 300 mph.

Greg Anderson’s 98th National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Pro Stock victory was 24 years in the making and what seemed like a lifetime in his dreams.

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.

In this edition of First Seasons, Speedway Media catches up with six-time NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle champion Andrew Hines.

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.
