There might not be a single NHRA competitor who wants to get back on the track more than Christiansburg’s Matt Hagan.

It’s not that he’s bored, exactly. With his sport temporarily shut down and Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s stay-at-home order in effect, Hagan has plenty of work to occupy him on his 2,700-acre cattle farm and 100-acre hemp farm in the New River Valley. Spending extra time with his wife, Rachel, and four children is a rare gift for the 37-year-old driver this time of year, too.

But his Funny Car team had something special going in 2020. Hagan knows it. And he can’t wait for the opportunity to get back out there and prove it.

Full Story

revised schedule 1

In consideration of the COVID-19 global pandemic, NHRA officials have announced revisions to the 2020 Mello Yello Drag Racing Series schedule. The series is tentatively planned to resume June 5-7 with the Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway. The season will conclude with the crowning of the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series champions November 13-15 at the Auto Club Finals at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona.

The revised schedule will consist of 19 total events, with 17 of those events being contested when the series resumes in June. Six of these events will be condensed to two-day competition schedules for the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series classes due to economic and logistical factors. As a result of the compressed schedule, points will not be reset after the U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway. NHRA has held two make-up dates on the calendar in case there are further delays.  

  1. Post-Race #ArizonaNats
