"We love working with CompetitionPlus; they are great partners," said Dave Dobson, Masters Entertainment. "We share a common interest in that we love drag racing. We also love the sport's history, which drives us to bring the best presentation of those who helped make it what it is today. Partnering with Competition Plus ensures we share this with some of drag racing's most passionate fans." 

There’s making moves to win a championship, and then there’s reloading to maintain and defend a title. 

Kalitta Motorsports, home of 2023 NHRA Top Fuel Champion Doug Kalitta, will maintain its lineup for the 2024 season but with significant adjustments to its crew chief positions, the team announced today. Brian Husen has been promoted to crew chief for Shawn Langdon’s Kalitta Air Careers team, while Mac Savage joins the team to replace him. The changes come ahead of the 2024 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series, set to commence on March 8-10, 2024, at the Amalie Oil NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla.

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.
