HUGE FUNNY CAR FIELD AWAITS POINTS LEADER J.R. TODD AT LUCAS OIL NHRA WINTERNATIONALS

The 21-car Funny Car field is largest for the NHRA Winternationals since 2014

POMONA, CA – After winning the NHRA Gatornationals to open the 2024 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series, J.R. Todd heads to this weekend’s 64th annual Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals with plenty of momentum.

But it certainly won’t get any easier for the former Funny Car world champion at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip. Todd is one of 21 Funny Car entries for this weekend’s annual early-season race in Pomona, which makes it the largest Funny Car field for the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals since 2014.

It’s a huge and massively talented Funny Car category, but Todd is feeling the best of everyone heading into Pomona in his 11,000-horsepower DHL Toyota GR Supra. A season-opening win in Gainesville gives the team plenty of confidence and Todd knows his team will be ready for the challenge in Pomona.

The NHRA officially approves the Next Level C7 Left-Hand Steer Jr Corvette Roadster for Jr Dragster Competition

LOCUST GROVE, GA – For the last several years, Billy Herman of Next Level Jr. Dragsters has been working to bring his first of it’s kind C7 left-hand steer Jr. Corvette Roadster to the Jr. Dragster world. That dream became reality recently when the NHRA officially approved his C7 Jr. Roadster while also adding it to their rule book. With the NHRA approving his chassis and body combination, Herman now has the very first NHRA approved left-hand steer C7 Corvette Jr. Roadster.

The historic combination began with a Cynergy Composites C7 Corvette body that was scaled down to Jr. Dragster dimensions. Dan Page Race Cars took on the challenge of building the chassis and worked meticulously to ensure it would meet NHRA requirements. This required changes to the driver location, roll cage design, and tubing sizes from the first chassis design to meet the strict NHRA guidelines. The finished product is set to hit the track in the coming weeks with exhibition passes set for the NHRA Eastern Conference Finals at Bristol later this season.
