Two-time NHRA Pro Modified champion Steve Jackson has been waiting for the perfect platform to let his idea be known. Tuesday night on the CompetitionPlus POWER HOUR, the man known as Stevie Fast let it rip. 

"I'll talk about one thing NHRA can do to fix all this bs," Jackson said. "Y'all want to know? I proposed it. Nobody wants to do it, and I have no idea why. I can't get them to tell me why they don't want to do it. They say it's not a good idea. You know how to fix all this parity bs in Pro Mod?"

Jackson can name that tune in three words.

Hunter Green, the son of NHRA Funny Car and Pro Mod driver Chad Green, will make his NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster debut this weekend at the 4-Wide Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It’s the first of two planned races driving one of Randy Meyer Racing’s nitro-injected A/Fuel dragsters to get seat time for an eventual move up to Top Fuel.   

Green earned his Top Alcohol Dragster license with Randy Meyer Racing during a preseason test session at Phoenix before upgrading his license in a Tim Wilkerson-tuned Top Fuel dragster.  

​Texas Motorplex co-owner Christie Meyer Johnson has announced that General Manager Andy Carter submitted his resignation to pursue other business opportunities. 

Carter joined the staff at the Texas Motorplex in 2014 as the vice president of sales and three years later was promoted to his current position as general manager of the multi-use facility that annually hosts the Stampede of Speed and NHRA FallNationals in addition to a full schedule of additional motorsports and family-friendly events. 

NHRA officials announced Michigan’s Milan Dragway as the latest addition to the NHRA Member Track roster.

Located in Milan, Mich., Milan Dragway is co-owned and operated by Perry Merlo and Harold Bullock.

The start couldn’t have been much better for Jerry Savoie’s White Alligator Racing Pro Stock Motorcycle team.

Savoie’s teammate Karen Stoffer won the Gatornationals, the season-opening race for NHRA’s Pro Stock Motorcycle riders, March 10-13 in Gainesville, Fla.

Moreover, Stoffer won in record-breaking fashion as she ran the two quickest elapsed times in NHRA’s storied Pro Stock Motorcycle history.

As the 2022 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series begins to pick up speed, Pro Stock rookie driver Camrie Caruso continues to succeed on and off the track. The 24-year-old racer from Denver, North Carolina, will experience the NHRA Las Vegas Four-Wide Nationals for the first time with a new look Chevrolet Camaro featuring the branding of Air Flow Research (AFR) SCAT Crankshafts and Procar by SCAT. Caruso has been hard at work since January improving her driving skills and introducing new companies to the NHRA’s diverse fanbase. The alliance with Air Flow Research, SCAT Crankshafts and Procar by SCAT is another example of Caruso’s marketing savvy.

“We have been talking with the team at Air Flow Research, SCAT Crankshafts and Procar by SCAT about getting involved with our program for a while,” said Caruso, who has qualified at all three NHRA national events in 2022 and advance to the quarterfinals the past two races. “They are the aftermarket go-to seat for Chevrolet Camaros so this relationship was literally a perfect fit. When you add in the backing of Air Flow Research and SCAT Crankshafts with their long history in Pro Stock, I could not be more excited to represent these companies.”

Here’s a sneak peek at Street Outlaws Star Robin Roberts’ new 1968 Pontiac Firebird built by RJ Race Cars using a plethora of Quartermax components. 

This two-year project will be powered by a ProLine Racing Hemi boosted by a Hart’s Charger centrifugal supercharger run through a FuelTech ECU.

“I met Robin four years ago at the PRI Show, and we got to talking,” said Rickie Jones of RJ Race Cars. “We got to be good friends and started working with him, and in the years since, we’ve pretty much redone everything on his old Firebird — we’ve front-halved it, mostly back-halved it, put all-new suspension and four-link in it, new housing, anti-roll bar, redone the pedals, the seat, some of the roll cage stuff. So that car is about 75-percent RJ. He went out and was doing well and winning races, and every time we did work to it, he saw that it was going faster, so when it came time for a new one, he turned to us.”

The past is a nice place to visit, but not to live.

For Gary Densham, the visit to race a Nostalgia Nitro Funny Car is always a treat. Densham drove the family's 1969 flopper at the 64th annual Bakersfield March Meet. 

"Our whole team loves this Nostalgia, funny car racing; after we blew the body off of [in Bakersfield] in 2019, we had to build something again," Densham explained. "We got another body exactly the same. I haven't had a chance to paint it yet, don't know if we're going to go back with the same paint scheme or do something different."

After a dream 2021 NHRA season that saw Bruno Massel III win his third career Comp world championship, he plans on taking a different approach to his racing schedule in 2022.

“I'm going to run an abbreviated schedule,” Massel III said. “I'll run probably six or seven national (events). That's all I know. No points meets. The focus is really... I just got to be a dad more. Like these long travel sports and stuff like that, and just need to be around for that. You know what I mean? We've got some big trips this summer. Cooperstown for baseball and all that.”

In addition to his abbreviated Comp schedule, Massel III said he also will run a limited slate in the Pro Stock class with Elite Motorsports again.
