TOP STORIES

Treble leaves Lartigue Racing, will ride second Schumacher Racing Suzuki

Pro Stock Motorcycle racer Craig Treble has parted company with team owner and crew chief Harry Lartigue and will join Don Schumacher Racing for the remainder of the 2008 season. Treble, who is ranked eighth in the NHRA POWERade standings and can lock up a spot in the Countdown to 1 by qualifying and winning the first round of eliminations at the upcoming Mac Tools U.S. Nationals, will ride the Albrecht's Fast Track Suzuki as a teammate to current Schumacher Racing rider Chip Ellis.

Treble, an 11-time national event winner, has reached final rounds this season in Chicago and Norwalk. His most recent victory was at the 2007 Mac Tools U.S. Nationals.

Bank Of America offers NHRA fans a unique Visa card design

NHRA has announced that Bank of America has redesigned its NHRA-themed Visa card to feature bold new graphics for its race fan cardholders. The new design, with its black background and yellow and orange flame design, is reminiscent of the high-horsepower engines of Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars that race in the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series.

Schumacher, Smith keep on rolling in Reading

Tony Schumacher scored a class-record-tying fifth straight victory in Top Fuel and ran his unbeaten streak at the 1,000-foot distance to 20 rounds with a win at the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals. Matt Smith, who shared the winner’s circle in Brainerd with Schumacher, did it again after scoring in Pro Stock Motorcycle while Jack Beckman and Jeg Coughlin each earned their second wins of the season.

Smith seizes Pro Stock Motorcycle lead; Beckman, Coughlin improve

With his victory at the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals, defending world champ Matt Smith (pictured) moved back into the POWERade points lead in Pro Stock Motorcycle. Funny Car winner Jack Beckman and Pro Stock titlist Jeg Coughlin also used wins to vault up the standings, and Top Fuel victor Tony Schumacher extended his dominating lead in the class to 526 points.

Countdown to 1 field set in Funny Car; other battles still rage on

Although the final finishing order is yet to be determined, the Funny Car class is the first to set its 10-driver field for the Countdown to 1 playoffs that begin after the next race, the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals. A combination of round-wins by Jack Beckman (pictured) and Mike Neff and early losses by Del Worsham and Bob Tasca III at the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals sealed the field.

Fields set for U.S. Smokeless Showdown, Ringers Pro Bike Battle

Del Worsham (pictured) and John Force entered the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals needing a lot of good things to happen for them in qualifying and bad things to befall those in front of them if they hoped to crack into the field for the NHRA U.S. Smokeless Showdown at the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals, and they got their wishes as both made the elite eight after several surprising DNQs.

NHRA Softball Classic shut out by rain, but racers, fans still had a ball

The NHRA Softball Classic, pitting racers from the NHRA POWERade Series against one another, was cancelled due to persistent heavy rain and a soggy outfield. While waiting for weather to lift or for the game to officially be called, racers and fans made the most of the inclement weather as fans were treated to an extended autograph and Q&A session.
