Doug Foley and his Foley Lewis Racing Top Fuel team underwent significant changes during the 2023/2024 offseason, notably reintroducing co-crew chief Doug Kuch and implementing various adjustments before preseason testing. The team, co-owned by Tim Lewis, participated in a two-day test session at Gainesville in mid-February to gauge the impact of these modifications on on-track performance. 

Foley expressed confidence in transitioning from a testing phase to race mode for the upcoming NHRA Gatornationals, emphasizing the positive response from the car despite limited track time due to inclement weather.

Finishing second in NHRA’s Top Fuel world standings in 2023 might satisfy some teams – but not the Capco boys at Torrence Racing.
 
Especially driver Steve Torrence.
 
That’s what happens when you win four world titles, as Torrence did from 2018 to 21.

Top Fuel driver Josh Hart had accepted the chance he might not be able to defend his Pep Boys NHRA Top Fuel All-Star Callout title. However, it didn't mean he gave up hope. 

Word comes today that Hart will indeed get the opportunity. He was inserted into the final field after Leah Pruett withdrew her spot. Last season, he won from the No. 8 position in the field, and this year's berth only gave credence to the Biblical scripture adorning the back of his R+L Carriers-sponsored hauler.

LE Tonglet, the 2010 NHRA world champion and a veteran of 20 NHRA national events, is set to re-enter the Pro Stock Motorcycle class for the 2024 season. Tonglet will ride a Suzuki Hayabusa as part of a lease agreement with the Vance & Hines team, with backing from Kenny Koretsky's diverse business portfolio, including Nitro Fish apparel, Maple Grove Raceway, and KPK Development.

"I'm really excited to be back and be on a bike that should be really competitive," Tonglet said. "This is a new bike, which I've never had before, and I can't wait to ride it," he added, highlighting the anticipation surrounding his return.

Having made sporadic appearances in recent NHRA seasons, Tonglet last won at the 2018 Dallas event, defeating then-teammate Jerry Savoie in the final round. Despite his intermittent presence, Tonglet remains confident in his abilities, looking forward to his upcoming races.

Let the record reflect Stevie Fast put the Gapp Band back together. This is not to be confused with the Gap Band, a popular R&B group known for such hits as "You dropped the bomb on me" and "Burn Rubber on Me."

Jackson and his Gapp band team of Radial vs. The World team were singing the same tune as the popular doorslammer driver unveiled a new Camaro and dropped a bomb and burned rubber over the field at the latest Duck X Productions' extravaganze, Lights Out 15, in Valdosta, Ga.

Dave Connolly is an NHRA Pro Stock world championship crew chief and a 26-time winner as a Pro Stock driver.

Yet, Connolly wasn’t sure what to expect when he signed on to drive a second car for Matt Hartford at the inaugural Scag Power Equipment PRO Superstar Shootout presented by Johnson’s Horsepowered Garage, Feb. 8-10 in Bradenton, Fla.

Well, he was thrilled with how things unfolded.

NHRA officials have revealed that Automotive Racing Products (ARP) will serve as the title sponsor for the inaugural "ARP Six-Second Club" in the Holly EFI NHRA Factory X category. This new segment, dedicated to vehicles manufactured in 2019 and beyond, is set to embark on its first full season in 2024, spanning eight national events, commencing with the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on April 12-14, and concluding at the NHRA Nevada Nationals in Las Vegas on Oct. 31-Nov. 3.
