To celebrate the one-year anniversary of 6-time Pro Stock world champion Greg Anderson joining 16-time Funny Car world champion John Force in the most exclusive club in motorsports, the 1000 Round Win Club, Werner Communications, is releasing the first licensed autograph product celebrating this achievement. Signed by both Force and Anderson, this limited edition, 1 of 1,000-piece collectible features the iconic photos from the top end of the racetrack moments after each driver recorded their 1,000th round win in professional drag racing with the date and location of the accomplishment. Each piece comes in a clear acrylic desktop frame with a certificate of authenticity. “I wanted to celebrate the anniversary of Greg’s accomplishment and link two of the greatest drivers in drag racing history into one amazing collectible,” said Elon Werner, president of Werner Communications. “The photos capture the historic moment and having the two signatures on the same piece of memorabilia makes this a one-of-a-kind collectible that any motorsports fan would love to add to his or her collection. The fact we are only producing 1,000 pieces makes this and even more desirable piece of sports history.” Fans can pre-order the signed collectible here for $75 plus shipping and handling. Prior to the 2025 Mission Foods Drag Racing Series Awards Ceremony Force and Anderson were installed as the first two members of the 1000 Round Win Club. They each received custom embroidered tuxedo jackets as well as framed certificates of membership into arguably the most exclusive achievement club in motorsports. “The 1000 Round Win Club recognizes the elite of the elite in NHRA drag racing,” said Werner, following the presentation. “Turning on 1,000 win lights is a testament to more than just longevity, it represents dominance, excellence and perseverance. I was present at the top end for each of these drivers to achieve this milestone. I will never forget the emotion and sense of accomplishment John and Greg exhibited.” The framed certificate of membership presented to each driver in November highlighted the spirit of what it means to be a member of the 1000 Round Win Club. “This remarkable milestone places you amongst the elite of elite in motorsports. The world of motorsports celebrates this achievement with you and your team, as it is a testament to your enduring excellence, perseverance and legendary career.” Force was the first driver to achieve this milestone when he won his 1,000th round of professional racing on May 4, 2008, during the 12th annual O’Reilly NHRA Midwest Nationals presented by Castrol at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois. Force ultimately won 1,460 rounds of professional racing before officially announcing his retirement prior to the 2025 In-N-Out NHRA Finals. Last year at Bristol Dragway Anderson joined Force when he turned on his 1,000th round win light of NHRA professional racing on June 8, 2025, during the 24th annual Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals. Anderson has continued to add to his total amassing 1,040 round wins through the 2026 New England Nationals this season. “We are opening up this special collectible for sale now, and will ship the pieces in early July,” said Werner. “Getting to properly celebrate the anniversary of Greg’s accomplishment was a priority for us. As a father myself, I also think this would make a fantastic Father’s Day gift for the racing-obsessed dads in your life. I am genuinely excited for the future of the 1000 Round Win Club, I think we have the potential to continue to release other cool collectibles as more drivers enter the club.” As the caretaker of the 1000 Round Win Club Werner Communications will continue to explore unique opportunities to celebrate these two drag racing legends. Currently the closest professional driver to be eligible for membership to the 1000 Round Win Club is 3-time Funny Car world champion Ron Capps who has 954 round wins though the first eight national events of the season.

The Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic sports cars in history. Regardless of the country, they are respected, revered, and admired. Since their inception, the 911 Porsche has been a performer, and with technology and time these cars have gotten quicker and faster than any of their original designers could have imagined. But because humans tend to romaticize anything old, a trait that automotive enthusiasts are particularly bad about, we often think that the older models of our favorite performance vehicles are superior to the new ones. But are we wrong? Analytically I think we are. But there is only one way to find out, and that’s with a good old fashioned drag race. In the video below, every generation of Porsche 911 Turbo from the last 50 years is going head to head on the quarter mile to see which one is the quickest.

We’ve all pulled our car into the driveway and broke out the car washing stuff and thought “man this thing is dirty”. It’s those wash days that make you smile because of the transformation from horribly dirty to clean. In fact, those are the washes that make you realize you should wash your car more often because it looks so good. But what about a car that has been sitting in the barn for a decade? How about nearly two decades? This 1964 Impala SS 409 car has been doing just that and in this video it is getting detailed at a whole other level. It transforms right before your eyes.

Jordan Vandergriff may be an NHRA Funny Car rookie, but the list of opportunities for success he and his John Force Racing Cornwell Tools Chevrolet SS Funny Car team have lined up in front of them during the June 12-14 Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol (Tenn.) Dragway is something any veteran racer would envy. “I’ve always thought Bristol is a beautiful facility and I’ve always wanted to race in Thunder Valley in the trees. It’s one of the places on the schedule you have to experience,” Vandergriff said. “I’ve heard the old racing surface was a little bumpy here and there but I saw some pictures of the repave and wow, it looks beautiful. It levels the playing field for everybody. It’s a new track for me but also new surface for everyone in the series. And, based on our last two efforts on new racetracks for me, in Georgia (win) and Maryland (semifinals), we have had decent success. If we can hit the ground running in Q1 at Bristol and lay down a solid lap, I think we’ll be set up for the weekend.” Rain washed out last week’s Funny Car final at New England Dragway so Vandergriff will face teammate Jack Beckman during qualifying Friday evening in Thunder Valley. The Atlanta area resident will be going for his second event win of the season, after earning his first Diamond Wally in May at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Valdosta. A win by Vandegriff in the final would move him to second place in the point standings. “I’m trying to keep my mind in race day mode this whole week,” said Vandergriff. “We were left with a cliffhanger at the end of Sunday. I thought about it Sunday night and I was like, ‘Well, I’m going to have to hit the ground running on Friday and be ready to race.’ So I’m trying to really keep my mind in race mode. I haven’t really allowed myself to think that Epping is over so I’m just staying ready for Friday night that way.” He’ll then compete for his second Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty Challenge title during Saturday’s qualifying sessions, after having earned his first during the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Charlotte. Sunday’s sole focus will be adding the Thunder Valley Nationals trophy to his growing collection. NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series qualifying will feature two rounds at 5 and 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday, June 12, and the final two rounds of qualifying on Saturday, June 13 at 12:30 and 3 p.m. Eliminations will begin at 12 p.m. ET on Sunday, June 14. Television coverage includes qualifying action at 8 p.m. ET on Friday and 2 p.m. on Sunday on FS1, leading into eliminations at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday.

NHRA Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars depend on the people who dive beneath 12,000-horsepower machines moments after a pass to prepare them for the next run. To recognize those often-overlooked crew members, NHRA and VizionOne Hand Cleaner, the Official Hand Cleaner of NHRA, are excited to announce the “Grunt of the Race” award program. The initiative rewards the bottom-end mechanics whose work is critical to the success of Top Fuel and Funny Car teams. Under the program, the divers on the winning Top Fuel and Funny Car teams at each NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series event will receive a $250 bonus courtesy of VizionOne Hand Cleaner. Working in tight quarters around hot engine components, clutch assemblies, fuel systems, and driveline parts, the bottom-end mechanics perform some of the most demanding work in professional drag racing. Owned by veteran racer and businessman Rodger Brogdon, VizionOne Hand Cleaner is an American-made, all-natural hand cleaner created by Texas emergency room physician Dr. Ashton “Doc” Hudson. The product was developed to remove grease, oil, clutch dust, fuel residue, and racing grime while helping protect the hands of those who depend on them every day. “Those guys — and girls — are the unsung heroes on the nitro teams,” Brogdon said. “When that car comes in and it’s steaming and sometimes dripping after a run, the divers are the ones who jump in there and make stuff happen where few want to. I’ve always had a fond appreciation of what they do, and we at VizionOne Hand Cleaner believe they deserve to be recognized.” The program debuted earlier this season and has already produced multiple recipients. Top Fuel diver Travis Vandermell has been the program’s biggest beneficiary to date, collecting three Grunt of the Race awards while helping Shawn Langdon and the Kalitta Motorsports team put together a three-race winning streak. V Funny Car winners have been spread among multiple teams, with Aaron Kelley helping Jordan Vandergriff’s team earn recognition and Caden Gibson collecting the award with Chad Green Racing. Most recently, Narciso Bravo picked it up for Tasca Racing with Austin Prock’s victory. “It’s always exciting to see unique programs like this and VizionOne has done a great job recognizing a vital crew member in this fashion,” NHRA Senior Director of Advertising Jeff Morton said. “These bottom-end mechanics are crucial to the success of any top team, so it’s a huge thrill to see VizionOne provide this special bonus. They’ve already been a tremendous partner to NHRA and our race teams and we look forward to seeing this relationship continue to grow.” VizionOne Hand Cleaner products are available on the NHRA Midway at national events as part of the company’s ongoing partnership with NHRA and commitment to racers, crew members, and industry professionals throughout the sport.

The sights, sounds, and energy of NHRA drag racing were on full display for two Maryland lawmakers who joined representatives from Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) and Performance Racing Industry (PRI) for a behind-the-scenes visit to the inaugural NHRA Potomac Nationals at Maryland International Raceway. Maryland State Delegates Matthew Morgan and Kevin Hornberger spent two days getting a firsthand look at what make drag racing such a unique part of the motorsports landscape. Alongside representatives of SEMA and PRI, the lawmakers toured the Maryland International Raceway facility, met racers and teams, and learned about the ins and outs of the sport of drag racing. The visit was organized as part of SEMA and PRI’s ongoing effort to help elected officials better understand the racing community and the profound impact motorsports has on local economies and families across the country. NHRA Chief Development Officer Brad Gerber and Chief Legal Officer Alen Cisija accompanied the lawmakers on their tour, providing insight on what it takes to host national events as part of the 2026 NHRA season, which also coincides with the sanctioning body’s 75th year in business. During the tour, Funny Car standout Austin Prock stopped to speak and spend time with the group. When elimination rounds arrived, Delegate Hornberger found himself cheering on Prock as he advanced to the final round and ultimately won the event with a 3.956 over Jack Beckman’s 3.971. Top Fuel racer Maddi Gordon and team owner Ron Capps also spent time with the lawmakers. They shared stories about Capps’ extensive history with the sport and showed them how Gordon is just one of many examples of what the future will look like. Gordon, just 22 years old, spoke about growing up at the racetrack and how the sport has instilled strong family values while teaching lessons that continue to guide her both in and out of the driver’s seat. She emphasized to the lawmakers how both racers and fans view racing as a career and a lifestyle, not just a hobby. “Gordon’s grit, grace and gratitude showed lawmakers that the next generation of racing is worth protecting,” PRI Grassroots Manager Coby Lobaugh said. While Delegate Morgan has a racing background of his own, both lawmakers were able to see firsthand the unique atmosphere that surrounds NHRA events. Time was spent walking through the pits, speaking with vendors, race teams, and even spectators. Each of those conversations provided a closer look at the people and businesses that rely on racing events and the role racetracks play in their local communities. For PRI, creating those connections is a key part of protecting the future of motorsports. The motorsports industry contributes nearly $500 million to the state of Maryland, with over $17 million supporting local families and small businesses in Delegate Hornberger and Morgan’s districts. “Lawmaker engagement at motorsports events can only strengthen the understanding of the district they represent,” Lobaugh said. “It allows them to meet the people where they are and hear firsthand how racing supports their livelihoods.” For the representatives at PRI and SEMA, that’s exactly the outcome they hope for when bringing elected officials to major racing events. By experiencing the sport of drag racing up closeand on a personal level, lawmakers gain a clearer understanding of the fans, business, racers, and families that make the sport so special. “PRI’s goal is to protect the future of motorsports at every level by hosting lawmakers with the hope that continued awareness and education will bridge the gap between the government and the grandstands.” The post PRI, SEMA Host Maryland Lawmakers for Behind-the-Scenes Visit at NHRA Potomac Nationals first appeared on Drag Illustrated.
