The two-race Western Swing will come to a close Sunday with final eliminations at the Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals, with champions crowned in three Mission Foods Drag Racing Series classes, setting the stage for the final two events of the regular season.

The history of drag racing is so well preserved in the amazing and timeless photographs captured over the decades, providing a scrapbook of the life and times of our sport.

Jordan Vandergriff’s Funny Car win at the NHRA Southern Nationals made him the 97th Funny Car driver to hoist a winner’s trophy at an NHRA national event. How many of them can you name?

We all know Eddie Hill as the gray-haired and bearded "Texan" who broke records on the dragstrip like records were going out of style, but there was an Eddie Hill that none of us knew before that. His wife, Ercie, was kind enough to open up the family scrapbooks and share these precious photos (and captions) of "the Fourfather" before he became "the Texan" we all know and love.

The NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series returns to the fabled Pomona dragstrip for the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals, race three of the NHRA 75th Anniversary season.

Jim Campbell Racing and Densham Motorsports will team up for NHRA’s 1,000th Funny Car race, the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip, where Campbell will take the wheel of the Densham entry.

Fifty-five years ago, Don Garlits' Top Fuel win in a rear-engine dragster at the 1971 NHRA Winternationals changed the class and the sport. Since the summer of 1972, the last 974 Top Fuel winners have all had the engine behind them. Here's a look at that transitional time in class history.

Shawn Langdon’s third straight Top Fuel victory at last weekend's FMP NHRA Arizona Nationals presented by NGK Spark Plugs is a pretty amazing feat in a sport where dozens of little things have to go right, but drag racing history is packed with drivers and teams who found the magic recipe for prolonged momentum.

There’s no question that the weather is the biggest topic of the weekend at the FMP NHRA Arizona Nationals presented by NGK Spark Plugs as triple-digit weather has descended on the Valley of the Sun and seems to be laser-focused on Firebird Motorsports Park.

Former longtime NHRA Competition Director and Vice President Steve Gibbs was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America’s Class of 2026, March 10, adding another impressive honor to a lifelong career in drag racing.
