One could easily argue that Alex Laughlin is drag racing’s version of the Swiss army knife. So far, he has competed at 4-Wide races since 2016 in Pro Stock, Mountain Motor Pro Stock, Pro Mod, and Top Fuel. As if driving a fuel Funny Car isn’t complex enough, he will get to do it alongside three other drivers.

“I actually like the 4-wide because I feel somewhat of an advantage since I’ve won plenty of extra rounds from confused competitors not realizing which part of the tree they are supposed to be looking at,” Laughlin said. “Awareness is everything in four-wide racing. Las Vegas is a track that I haven’t had the cards fall my way, but I’m looking to change that.”

Laughlin and Jim Dunn Racing will have their Funny Car adorned in the colors of KGC Construction and Nitrous Keys. KGC has been a primary supporter of the team for a number of years, while longtime Jim Dunn Racing fans, Nitrous Keys, stepped up to be an associate sponsor of the team for the first time in 2022. The supplier of replacement ignition keys for car dealers, collision centers, auto repair shops, locksmiths, and consumers will be debuting a new logo on the Funny Car. Fans and businesses can also take advantage of special pricing on their website, www.nitrouskeys.com, through the end of the Las Vegas race weekend.
