\"Down<\/a><\/p>\n

We say goodbye to a legend in the hot rod world, as well as a scrappy drag race series while saying hello to a drag ready Mach E this week on down the track with RacingJunk.<\/h2>\n

First and foremost, the hot rodding world mourns the death of writer and racer and enthusiast Pat Ganahl<\/a> who died last week in a crash. His words and passion for the industry was so important to so many people and we offer our support to his family and loved ones.<\/p>\n

We also say goodbye (maybe just for now?) to the American Drag Racing League<\/a> which ceased operations last week. Hopefully, it will reform someday as it’s done in the past.<\/p>\n

In other race news, Jeff Gordon returns to racing<\/a>, proving that quitting is MEANINGLESS, Kimi Raikkonen survives Watkins Glenn<\/a>, Kurt Busch is still recovering<\/a> from a crash at Pocono, and Phil Shuler joins Maynard Family Racing<\/a> in the pit crew.<\/p>\n

We travel to Bonneville with Mitzi Valenzuela<\/a>, as well as meeting Ali, Mitzi’s latest Motor Maven <\/a>before heading to Holohan’s Hot rod Shop with big Al<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And finally, we take a look at a Mach E on the drag strip<\/a>, proving that you don’t need internal combustion to beat the clock.<\/p>\n

All that plus Trailer Tuesdays, cool car finds and more on Down the Track with RacingJunk.<\/p>\n
