DJ Cox is on the journey of a lifetime, not just talking about him making his way down to Ennis, Texas, for his first visit to the historic Texas Motorplex for the Texas NHRA FallNationals. The Maryland native recently clinched his fourth regional NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series title in his DXI Construction Top Alcohol Funny Car. But make no mistake, Cox has his eye on a bigger prize, and the hunt takes this drag racing family on the road. Regardless of what happens this season, this journey has been full of adventure.
Cox is currently just 63 points behind the national points leader, Shane Westerfield, and only ten points ahead of the third-place driver, Sean Bellemeur. While the Cox family crew typically doesn’t venture any further west than Indianapolis to compete, they’ve been broadening their horizons this year to finish the season strong.

Hull is using this power to raise money for cancer research and will donate the proceeds to Baylor University.
