A year ago, if you’d told a Pro Mod racer he might have two legitimate shots at a million dollars inside of six months, he’d have laughed you out of the pits. Not out of disrespect. Out of disbelief. That’s just not the world we’ve lived in. Well, that’s the world Jason Harris is living in right now. Harris earned his first crack at a million at our Drag Illustrated Winter Series, chasing the Elite Motorsports Million – a clean-sweep bonus for any driver who could win all three of our races. A

Due to potential inclement weather on Friday evening, NHRA announced an earlier start for Friday qualifying at the 20th annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals at Summit Motorsports Park to ensure all professional categories complete both scheduled qualifying sessions. The revised schedule moves the first round of NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series qualifying to 11:45 a.m. ET, starting with Pro Stock Motorcycle and Pro Stock, followed by Funny Car and Top Fuel.

Two weeks ago, Ohioan Mark Pawuk, the two-time and reigning Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown world champion, showed flashes of improvement racing to the semifinals at the Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, Tenn. This weekend Pawuk along with a host of Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge factory stock competitors will be looking to stop 2026 points leader Jonathan Allegrucci who has won the past three national events in a row. Pawuk and his 2026 Empaco backed Dodge Charger will head to Summit Motorsports P

Clay Millican has a lot of stops he enjoys on the NHRA Mission Drag Series tour, including the most recent event in Bristol. This weekend’s fan-favorite 20th annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals at Summit Motorsports Park also qualifies as one, leaving the Top Fuel veteran equal parts hopeful and excited heading to the halfway point of NHRA’s 75th anniversary season in 2026. Millican and his Rick Ware Racing team haven’t hit their stride yet this year in the team’s 12,000-horsep

If you are like me you are going to watch this video and think how much fun it seems it would be to be driving, and also that this dude could have been going even faster. Yeah, that’s not a criticism. Watch until the end and you’ll see what I’m talking about as Robin Shutes takes his Pikes Peak machine up the mountain quicker than anyone has ever done with a rear wheel drive car, and next year he’ll be back going even quicker I’m sure. The weather looked amazing, the car sounds good, and it sure

I know I’m not alone in saying that the Tyrrell P34 is one of the coolest looking F1 cars ever produced, not only because the lines are good on it, but also because it’s a freak show with 4 front wheels. And the idea behind it was genius. Little wheels and tires have less drag and that means the front could be lower and let all that good air go over the car, through the rear wing where it provided great downforce. And while they were a freak show looking car, they did well. It actually worked. U

There are going to be some of the most epic Ferrari’s in Formula 1 history at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, and this right here is one of them. The crew caught up with this car at the Monaco Historics race and man we couldn’t be happier that they did. Ferrari has been racing in F1 for 75 years now, and that mean’s they have seen some things and done some things. But while all these Ferraris are epic and cool, some definitely stand out from the rest. These cars were from a different era

Randy Pobst can wheel a race car, and on too many occasions to count we’ve seen him do it. But he also enjoys a quick and fast street car which means that upgrades are often in order. In this video series we’ll see his 1977 Pontiac Trans Am get some suspension love. But don’t think that this is some old original worn out machine that is getting the upgrades so they can show a huge improvement. No, this car has had a bunch of work done to it to get it into ship shape, and now it’s time for more.

As recently as two years ago, the once-heralded Mountain Motor Pro Stock class looked broken and fragmented, with no clear direction on how to proceed. Many teams seemed unsure on which sanctioning body to compete in – PDRA featured eighth-mile competition as a professional class, while NHRA offered quarter-mile racing, but only at select events.  When the newly reformed IHRA threw its hat into the ring last season, it initially looked like the MMPS waters would only be muddied further.
