Four-time world champ Kevin Helms on the property here at the @NHRA #Gatornats. He's a big part of Stock and Super Stock racer Doug Duell's introduction to Factory Stock with the Stanfield Racing Engines team. More coming out of that camp soon.

Cody Anderson with mom Kim just before his 1st @NHRA #ProStock competition run. His (.043) 6.632, 209.46 is 14th. Of the Troy Humphrey Motorsports decal he said "This one’s special. It’s how my dad started his career; to have that logo on my first car is an honor."

Kenny Horne, the Super Stock winner in Gainesville, was a finalist there in 1982. Now, at 74 years of age, he finally got his Gatornationals trophy! Congratulations, sir.
@NHRA #Gatornats
Jeff Strickland knows Gainesville. Did you know: the @NHRA #Gatornats titlist claimed the Stock win in each of the last 3 seasons.... and it's 4 in a row when you factor in his 2021 win in Top Dragster. Even cooler - he doubled there in 2016 (TD & Stk).
