Following a first-year sell out of 100 factory-built program vehicles in 2009, Mopar announced its 2010 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak program.

For 2010, the non-street legal V-8 powered, rear-wheel drive Dodge Challenger is available with the 6.1 liter HEMI® that may be set up with a 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission.

"We’re proud of our drag racing heritage at Mopar and we will continue to support our drag-race customers where they compete,” said Pietro Gorlier, President and Chief Executive Officer - Mopar Service, Parts and Customer Care, Chrysler Group LLC. “The Dodge Challenger Drag Pak program was a success last year, and we’ll be carrying that momentum into our 2010 build.”

In the final results from Gainesville Raceway and the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, Michael Manners, Willis, Tex. and Steve Harker, Gainesville, Ga. took home the wins in Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car respectively.

Manners worked his way through the field and ran 5.275 seconds at 270.05 mph in his final round victory over Monroe Guest, who clocked in at 5.433 seconds, 269.51 mph.

With the rain gone and the skies blue Don Schumacher Racing pulled off a double in the NHRA Arizona Nationals at Firebird Int'l Raceway Monday afternoon.

 First into the winner's circle was Jack Beckman, in the Valvoline MTS Dodge Charger. Beckman was followed by Top Fuel teammate, Cory McClenathan in his Fram dragster.

 This is the 23rd time DSR teams have doubled up in the winner's circle and two of those times were triples. The last time DSR doubled up was last year in the first Vegas race with Ron Capps and Tony Schumacher doing the honors. It is the first time McClenathan and Beckman have been in the Winner's Circle together as team mates.

Don Schumacher Racing would like to offer its condolences to the family and friends of a woman who was fatally injured Sunday at the Arizona NHRA Nationals at Firebird International Raceway.

1:19 Mountain Time - The clouds parted, the sun came out and NHRA personnel are once again trying to get the track in shape for the two final round runs scheduled for today.

A large heavy rain cell wiped out hours of track drying just minutes before the surface was ready to race on. There is another visible break in the weather and NHRA officials have made no decision at this time.

Pro Stock's Greg Anderson will remember Phoenix for much more than the race in which he had to start off by racing his brother-in-law, who was competing in the  KB Racing-powered Pontiac which Anderson had campaigned for most of last season.
 
He simply will remember it as the race in which he was glad to escape with his body and equipment intact.
