The Super Chevy Show will expand its geographic footprint in 2017 by hosting events at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Phoenix, and Thunder Valley Raceway Park serving the Oklahoma City market. A total of 12 event dates are already secured for the season that begins in May. The Super Chevy Show will focus on popular car shows, drag racing, swap meet, and car corral activities for participants and fans alike.

An average of 1,000 participants per show compete at the Super Chevy Show events for awards and prizes. To many participants the prestige of winning their class in the car show or bracket race is the most rewarding. For others it is about having the best restored show car or racing exhibition vehicle that gets aired on the Menards Chevy Series TV show.

Elite Motorsports is proud to announce a partnership with High Performance Lubricants for the 2017 NHRA Mellow Yellow Drag Racing Series.
 
“At Elite Motorsports, we have spent the last few years searching for the best lubricants for our team,” Richard Freeman said. “We evaluated High Performance Lubricants’ racing oils and the results have been fantastic. In the areas of the engine where lubricants are challenged, the parts look wonderful when we inspect the engines. Their facility is packed full of lab equipment that allows them to develop things for us quickly. I believe we have found what we’ve been looking for.”

Back in 2015, Jim Campbell had never driven a nitro Funny Car.

Fast-forward to the present and Campbell is now the driver for Jim Dunn Racing’s Funny Car – and Campbell is truly appreciative of the opportunity.

“I’m absolutely honored and privileged to race with Jim Dunn,” Campbell said. “He’s such a legend. Every once and awhile I pinch myself to make sure I’m still alive because this is a dream come true. I’m really looking forward to the 2017 season.”

According to multiple media reports on Jan. 9, Polaris Industries announced it is shutting down its unprofitable Victory Motorcycle brand. The Victory Motorcycle brand was founded in 1997.

Victory's motorcycles were designed to compete directly with Harley-Davidson and similar American-style motorcycle brands with V-twin engines. Polaris is based in Minneapolis Minn., and the Victory motorcycles were produced at the company’s Spirit Lake, Iowa, and Spearfish, S.D., plants.

Veteran drag racer Joe Boggs passed away peacefully at the age of 78 on Friday, December 30, 2016 after a long illness. Boggs campaigned a long line of top fuel dragsters and nitro funny cars from 1967 until the early 1980’s. Along with his original partner, Jim Hundley, the Hundley & Boggs team fielded one of the most competitive AA/FD dragsters east of the Mississippi in the late 1960’s, winning the American Hot Rod Association Top Fuel World Championship in September 1967 and an International Hot Rod Association Grand American in September 1969.

Rockingham Dragway’s reputation for diversity won’t lose any of its luster this year with track owner Steve Earwood’s announcement of a 63-event schedule that includes a little bit of everything – from a Perdue Farms company picnic to a Rugged Maniacs 5k obstacle race to the return of the American Drag Racing League Pro Mod Series.
 
Nevertheless, Earwood is most excited about his track’s new affiliations with the Modern Hemi Shootout Series, which makes its Rockingham debut in May, the stars of the wildly popular Street Outlaws TV series, who will be featured in events in April and October, and the International Drag Bike League, which will contest its World Finals on a November date that will provide the world’s fastest street bikes a platform for record-breaking performance.
