All of the manufacturers were represented in the winner’s circle. See the complete race report at here.

The Top Fuel Harleys will clinch their championship – and it IS a professional national championship – at the U.S. Nationals this Labor Day weekend, the first of the NHRA classes to do so.

Leading the points in the 10-event Mickey Thompson Tires NHRA Top Fuel Harley Drag Racing Series is Tii Tharpe (shown) with 560 points followed by Doug Vancil with 533. Indy offers 1.5 points and how appropriate that the prestigious U.S. Nats will see the champion crowned.  (Tom McCarthy photo)   [08/27/19]

Jimmy Daniels is hoping for an amazing fourth straight win at this year’s Dodge Hemi Challenge during the U.S. Nationals. Since taking over the driver’s seat of his father Jim Sr.’s ’68 Dart in 2016, Daniels has not lost a round in the prestigious event – that’s 14 straight round wins. [08/27/19]

DRO Motorcycle Editor Tom McCarthy takes a look back at Hector Arana Jr’s historic 200-mph run at the 2018 Gatornationals.

He was the first Pro Stock Motorcycle rider to reach that number, and a year and a half later, only two others (Eddie Krawiec and Matt Smith) have joined the Denso Spark Plugs 200-mph Club. It’s quite an achievement.  (Tom McCarthy photo)  [08/27/19]
