The most decorated Top Fuel driver in NHRA history is set to make his highly-anticipated return to the dragstrip in 2022, and with the help of Scag Power Equipment, Tony Schumacher is ready to mow down the competition and make a bid for a category-best ninth series title.

Scag Power Equipment, an industry leader in commercial riding, stand-on, and walk-behind lawn mowers, has joined forces with the fan-favorite driver who announced in October that he would be returning to the Don Schumacher Racing stable to compete on the NHRA Camping World Series circuit full-time in 2022. Scag joins DSR as a primary partner where it will have top billing on Schumacher’s 11,000-horsepower machine at five events during the 2022 season. Additionally, Scag will serve as a co-primary supporter at six races, sharing equal branding space with the Maynard family, who joined drag racing’s winningest organization at the start of the 2021 season, and later announced they would be expanding their relationship to become one of Schumacher’s primary backers in 2022. 

From being inducted into the North Carolina Motorsports Hall of Fame to passing mentor Warren Johnson for the most career Pro Stock victories to claiming his fifth Pro Stock championship, the 2021 National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) season “has been one for the ages,” Greg Anderson says.

Jim Campbell, Chevrolet U.S. Vice President, Motorsports and Performance, added a distinguished cap to a memorable season by presenting Anderson with the prestigious Chevrolet Cross Flag Award during a luncheon at the KB Racing facility in Mooresville, North Carolina.

For Don O’Neal, the issue is one of respect.

The Top Sportsman driver of the Litens/NGK/Magnuson Camaro said it’s time to discard the term “sportsman” when referring to the racers in his class and those in the nine other Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series categories.

He said racers in the Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Top Dragster, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, Competition Eliminator, Super Stock, and Stock classes deserve recognition for the professional-grade efforts they put into their operations.

They’re “Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series” drivers. And that’s how he’d like for them to be described.

Today, most drag racing fans know Billy Meyer as the man who built the Texas Motorplex, one of drag racing's Seven Wonders of the World. The truth of the matter is Meyer was one of the more decorated and controversial Funny Car racers of the 1970s and 80s.

He was brash. He was bold. He also came off as cocky. 

Pro Stock racer Rodger Brogdon has chosen to let his performance on the track for his entire career. As he saw it, popularity didn't win races. Performance did.

Until now, this was the case.

Brogdon, of Tomball, Texas, scored his first win of the Virtual Reality Hot Rod Association, a series of events decided by fan vote, stopping Alan Prusienski in the finals of the Duel in the desert event hosted by BeeLine Dragway.

With the victory, Brogdon passed Dallas Glenn for the point lead.

It's race day at Beeline Dragway located in Scottsdale, Az. Qualifying is complete, now it's time to begin the process of eliminating down for a winner at the Hughes Performance Thunder in the Desert, Race 2 of 9 in the Virtual Reality Hot Rod Association. 

It's all fun in fantasy land to get away from the troubles of what is happening in the real world. 

For those new to this fantasy world, this is how it works. The race with the most votes advances to the next round. We had two days of voting to seed the eight-car fields. 

First-round ends tonight at 7 PM EST.
