Sometimes you just know, and Billy Morris knew.

Morris drove his way to a first NHRA Heritage Series race win, stopping Tony Jurado in the Nostalgia Funny car [AA/FC] finals of the California Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield, Ca.

Morris, the former drag boat racer who converted to drag racing on land, had reached the final round against Tony Jurado. 

Morris, who had yet to win a national event, knew if he wanted to win this weekend, it couldn't be status quo versus Jurado.

Even Ray Charles could have seen this coming. 

Tony Stewart, a Hall of Fame NASCAR driver who has driven just about any form of racing, will add drag racing to his ever-growing resume of motorsports experience. Stewart will drive a dragster fielded by the Rich McPhillips team. 

Stewart will race a Top Alcohol Dragster at the NHRA Nevada Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas this weekend. After two multi-day sessions at Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School and a handful of tests over the last two years in both a Top Alcohol dragster and a Top Fuel dragster, he's done enough practicing and is ready for competition. 

Dale Creasy Jr. has learned to deal with the ups and downs of drag racing and several personal tragedies along the way. Last week, a new tragedy will likely park the team for the rest of the season and possibly beyond.

"We were parked in the holding area waiting to park in Dallas when the call came in," Creasy revealed.
