Some races are really worth the wait. This past weekend’s 24th annual Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals on the Bristol Dragway dragstrip had its share of postponements, cancellations and downtime to frustrate anyone in the pits and the stands, but in the end, history was made for four winners.
Gordon, who has been driving – and crewing on – her family’s Funny Car and is a third-generation straight-line racer, will enter NHRA’s Mission Foods competition in 2026 in a Ron Capps Motorsports Top Fuel dragster.
The roster of Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series drivers will have a number of new faces in the upcoming 2024 season.
