The Sports Report: A championship in year two? McKenna Bold doesn't see why not
Last year, Canadian McKenna Bold made her Top Alcohol Dragster debut with the Randy Meyer team, and the results were, to say the least, impressive. Now, she’s back for year two and looking to contend for a title.
The Sports Report: Behind the scenes in the exclusive 700-point club
Since the modern points system was introduced in 1995, the magical 700-point barrier has been eclipsed just 25 times by 20 different drivers. While we wait for the start of the 2026 season, let’s take a closer look at some of the biggest points totals in NHRA history.
The Sports Report: Whitfield is motivated for another title run after near miss
Had things gone just a little differently, Kris Whitfield would be the 2025 Super Comp world champion, but he’s not the least bit bitter, just highly motivated for 2026.
Cowie overcame tough competition, late-season drama to win second straight title
By any measure, Shawn Cowie has lived through more adversity than most racers will ever face, but he has rebuilt himself, rebuilt his racing program, and rebuilt his place atop one of NHRA’s most grueling Sportsman categories as a back-to-back world champion in Top Alcohol Dragster.
Fifth championship puts ‘Killer Bs’ in rare company in history of TAFC class
Sean Bellemeur never set out to chase history in Top Alcohol Funny Car and certainly never dreamed that one day he would be a five-time world champion who is fast approaching 50 career national event wins.
Taylor/Nickens superteam worked together for Taylor’s fifth championship
Before the season kicked off, Jeff Taylor had already had one of the great careers in NHRA Sportsman-racing history: four world championships and more than 50 national event wins, but he and teammate David Nickens proved that age is no barrier as they won another championship in Comp.
With a stunning performance, Lamb finalizes a sixth world championship
Only a select few racers in the near-75-year history of NHRA have won six or more world titles. After an incredible performance that defied reasonable expectations, Stock and Super Stock ace Justin Lamb became the 15th driver on that revered list.
Two wins in four final rounds helped propel Linke to first Stock championship
In a sport where timing is everything, Russ “Bubba” Linke’s timing could not have been better. Thrust in the middle of a battle for the Stock world championship at midseason, Linke finished his season with a win, a runner-up, and a semifinal to clinch his first world championship.
