Gary Pritchett waited years for his opportunity to drive a Top Fuel dragster. When Doug Foley handed him the keys, he delivered two victories, two runner-up finishes and the points lead. Then the season disappeared. But don't mistake the way 2026 ended for the way Pritchett performed. He proved he belonged, and with Foley Racing bringing him back for 2027, he's determined to finish what he started.

They started from scratch with a new Top Fuel team, a driver with limited experience and a life-threatening health battle still very much in the rearview mirror. Will Smith jokingly calls himself SCAG Racing’s “Walmart bargain.” Nine months later, he's been to his first NHRA final, climbed into the Top Fuel championship conversation and isn't sneaking up on anybody anymore. competitionplus.com/from-wal… #DragRacingNews #NHRA #TopFuel #WillSmith #SCAGRacing #PEAKSquad #RaceStrange #GoodridgeHoses

IHRA promised racers a return to glory, major purses and a legitimate alternative in professional drag racing. What they got was a disappearing schedule, an unfinished season and questions that still haven't gone away. A sanctioning body with more than 50 years of history deserved better. So did the racers who believed in it. FULL COMMENTARY - competitionplus.com/in-the-e… #DragRacingNews #IHRA #IHRADragRacing #DragRacing #CompetitionPlus #PEAKSquad #RaceStrange #GoodridgeHoses

There was a time when it seemed like everybody in Funny Car racing wanted a Chevrolet Vega. Steve Reyes was there with his camera as the Vega invasion took over drag strips across America. In Part 1 of his latest REYES ON TOUR, he digs into his archives for 13 of his favorites.. How many of these do you remember?

🤯 OMG ... IT’S THE TEN — NHRA MIDWEST NATIONALS EDITION! St. Louis delivered the kind of weekend THE TEN was made for. Shawn Langdon kept steamrolling Top Fuel. Austin Prock put himself squarely back into the Funny Car championship fight. Aaron Stanfield beat his own father on a holeshot, Gaige Herrera continued his St. Louis love affair, and Justin Ashley and Jasmine Salinas had to race the same round TWICE.
