Drag racing can be volatile, and insuring your assets should be a no-brainer. Navigating the process can sometimes be challenging for those who need help understanding the procedures and policies.

When one buys a motorsports insurance policy, does it cover the race car in competition? What about the support equipment like the tractor-trailer, toterhome, or stacker? Does this fall under one's home, auto, or business insurance policies?

Motorsports Insurance specialist Sean Schwartz believes the best starting point for insuring one's team should be focused on those things responsible for getting the team to the track.

Last year, NHRA nitro racers got their chance to call out one another for big money.,

Next year, the “Stock” divisions will get their turn. The NHRA announced the formation of the NHRA All-Star Callout events of the Pro Stock and Pro Stock Bike events. This announcement was made as the NHRA revealed the schedule for the two categories in the 2003 season.

The 2023 campaign starts with the 54th annual Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals, kicking off what will be the 72nd season of racing in the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series. Both Top Fuel and Funny Car will compete at all 21 races at standout tracks across the country, giving race fans the chance to experience the amazing thrills and the intense action of the 11,000-horsepower nitro categories. Pro Stock will take part in 18 events, while Pro Stock Motorcycle will appear at 15 races.

Drag Racing history was on the center stage in Southern California this past weekend as the Lions Automobilia Foundation inducted their first Hall of Fame class on Saturday night with a sold-out event. Additionally, the winners of the last drag race held at the famed drag strip on the weekend of its 50th anniversary.

The special awards dinner, a suit-and-tie event, featured some of drag racing's most iconic names and personalities in attendance. Among those in attendance were "TV" Tommy Ivo, Roland Leong, Steve Gibbs, Carl Olson, and Don "The Snake" Prudhomme, one of the inaugural inductees.

He could have won the lottery without buying a ticket. He could have landed the leading role in a blockbuster movie without auditioning. Or, he could have broken the world's land-speed record in Prius.

All of those ridiculous scenarios could have transpired, for three-time Top Fuel drag racing champion Antron Brown and he wouldn't have been more surprised than what he managed to pull off Sunday in Bradenton, Fla.

Brown, who won 16 NHRA national event titles on two-wheels, 55 in an 11,000-horse Top Fuel dragster, can now say he's won a race on radial tires, measuring 10.5 inches wide while pulling nearly 2,000 horsepower. He won the Pro275 Radial division at the annual Snowbird Nationals, a race headlined by Outlaw Pro Modifieds.

Nobody could top Melanie Salemi’s 3.589-second blast in Outlaw Pro Mod Saturday night at the 51st annual Snowbird Outlaw Nationals presented by Motion Raceworks at Bradenton Motorsports Park. Salemi’s 3.589 at 206.95 MPH from Friday held up through three Saturday qualifying sessions that saw just over 40 drivers attempt to make the 32-car field.
 
Salemi and her team had Eddie Whelan’s roots-blown Slice-and-Ice Camaro in the staging lanes for the fifth and final qualifying session, but when no one outqualified them, the team elected to sit out the run to be ready for Sunday eliminations.
