Veteran Pro Stock driver Vincent Nobile is returning to NHRA drag racing.

Nobile will be competing in the Mountain Motor Pro Stock class at this weekend’s Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte, N.C.

The second-generation racer will be driving Rocky Watford’s Jerry Haas-built Camaro with an 825-cubic inch Sonny Leonard engine.

Back in 1965, the first photo of the Little Red Wagon doing a wheelie appeared on the cover of Chrysler Bin and Bench.

Most were unaware that it was Jay Howell behind the wheel, driving for Dick Branstner and Roger Lindamood of Color Me Gone fame.

Top Fuel racer Austin Prock is a rookie, but one aspect he's got some experience in is racing four-wide.

Prock made his four-wide debut in Las Vegas earlier this month and while he enjoyed particpating, the experience of a first-round loss isn't in his list of greatest accomplishments.

             
Second-generation drag racer Johnny Pluchino will make his NHRA Mountain Motor Pro Stock debut later this season with support from Strutmasters.com, a suspension manufacturer. Pluchino, the 2018 PDRA Pro Outlaw 632 world champion, will drive the 2013 Ford Mustang usually driven in PDRA competition by his father, 2016 Extreme Pro Stock world champion John Pluchino. 
 

Saturday morning, NHRA’s technical department disqualified the runs of three cars provisionally qualified in the Pro Modified field at the NHRA Heartland Nationals.

The prospect of racing a Mountain Motor Pro Stock at an NHRA Mello Yello Championship Drag Racing event is a daunting task. Having to do it four-wide just takes the process to another level altogether.

At least this is how John Montecalvo, the large displacement Pro Stock racer with the most seniority of his counterparts participating in the second of four scheduled exhibition events in 2019 during this weekend's NGK Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at zMax Dragway outside of Charlotte, NC.

NHRA fuel racer Terry Haddock has a newfound pep in his step heading into the second quarter of the 2019 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series schedule.

Haddock revealed Friday that he’s retained the services of noted tuner/team manager Johnny West and added a new sponsor, Checklist Boards, as the team’s primary sponsor. 

The ill- fated Super Thunder meeting at Willowbank Raceway, April 19 was dealt another blow when race organizers were forced to cancel the final round of racing due to rain. 

After qualifying seventh for an eight-car field, J.R. Carr still made his participation in the first-ever, official NHRA Mountain Motor Pro Stock (MMPS) race forever memorable by reaching the final round and leaving Houston Raceway Apr. 14, with the quickest and fastest MMPS pass of all time.

Carr ran 6.36-seconds lap over the Houston quarter mile at 219.29 mph in qualifying, but dramatically upped his performance to 6.233 at 227.80 mph in the opening round of racing against Chris Powers. Proving it was no fluke and backing up the official NHRA class records within the required one percent, he ran just two thousandths slower at 227.04 to defeat Scott Benham in the semi-finals.

It took his final-round opponent to ultimately convince him, but John DeFlorian eventually figured out he'd just become the first official Mountain Motor Pro Stock (MMPS) winner in NHRA history.

After qualifying number one and making his way past Rick Cowger and Dillon Voss in the preliminaries, DeFlorian lined his 2015 Camaro up in the left lane against the similar machine of J.R. Carr to settle the final score for the 32nd annual Mopar Express Lane NHRA SpringNationals presented by Pennzoil Apr. 14, in Baytown, TX. It was an ugly final, though, with Carr leaving .011 too early while DeFlorian encountered severe tire shake before rattling and rolling his way to the top end of Houston Raceway in 10.43 seconds at just 90.12 mph.
