NORTH DINWIDDIE, VA – Blake Alexander was just a kid when he started attending drag races at the popular Virginia Motorsports Park, so he is anxious to return to the racing facility this weekend (June 20-22) for the American Rebel Light Beer NHRA Virginia Nationals.

Alexander, the veteran Funny Car driver from Charlotte, will be joined by his teammate Chad Green in their nitro-burning Chad Green Motorsports Funny Cars when qualifying gets underway this Saturday with three separate runs at 11:30 a.m., 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. EDT.

The four-time NHRA national event winner, Alexander began his trek to VMP as a fan and moved into the NHRA Sportsman ranks as a teenager. Blake is now one of the Funny Car division’s top contenders with his 12,000-horsepower Pronto Auto Service Centers Dodge Hellcat machine.

“I started coming to the Virginia track as a fan and later as a racer in the NHRA Sportsman ranks,” said Alexander. “I enjoy racing there as the racing surface is smooth and the three qualifying runs on Saturday are so unique. We usually run two passes in qualifying each day at the NHRA races, but this is a great opportunity for the fans to see the world’s fastest race cars three separate times. I’m excited to come back for the Virginia Nationals with our potent Pronto Funny Car.” Continue reading →

EPPING, NH – Blake Alexander performed impressively this weekend in the NHRA New England Nationals drag races by recording his season-best time of 3.899 in qualifying and just missing advancing to the semifinals in his Chad Green Motorsports Pronto Auto Service Centers Dodge Funny Car.

Alexander’s qualifying run secured the Charlotte driver the No. 4 position in the 16-car Funny Car field, the highest qualifying spot for Blake with the newly built Funny Car.

Unfortunately for the CGM squad Sunday, Alexander and his teammate and team owner, Chad Green, had to matchup in the opening round of Funny Car eliminations, knowing one of the cars was going to be back in the trailer after the race. Both Alexander and Green had to pedal the throttle of their nitro-burning machines with Blake taking the win light with 5.189 to Chad’s 5.378.

In the second round, Alexander went up against the recent Route 66 Nationals winner Jack Beckman and Blake was quick off the starting line ahead of the John Force Racing competitor. But Beckman had to come from behind at the finish line to take the victory. Beckman’s 3.878 was low elapsed time of the round with Alexander’s 3.934 second quick. But Blake’s strong effort was not enough. Continue reading →

JOLIET, IL – Blake Alexander returns to Funny Car action this weekend (May 16-18) at the NHRA Gerber Collision Route 66 Nationals at Route 66 Dragway when he pilots the 11,000-horsepower Pronto Auto Service Centers Funny Car for Chad Green Motorsports.

Alexander, a three-time NHRA national event winner from Charlotte, comes to the Chicagoland area in search of his first 2025 NHRA win as he teams up with Chad Green in a potent two-car Funny Car effort as the Bond-Coat team seeks another NHRA victory. Green won the NHRA season-opening Gatornationals in March.

For Alexander, the move to Chad Green Motorsports has been a smooth transition as the squad expanded from a single-car operation to a two-car organization. CGM purchased all new equipment for Alexander’s ride including a new chassis from John Force Racing.

Blake explains that his crew has been learning with new parts and pieces as the team comes to Joliet this weekend. Continue reading →
