Several drivers, including some old favorites, have ability to shake up the standings this season.
Some of the storylines are already coming into focus for the 2023 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season.• Recapturing past glory a theme among dragster hopefuls.
“I live, eat, and breathe this stuff. And I was fed up,” Prock said. “We weren't doing a good job, and it was wearing on me, and I exploded. It wasn't even so much that we lost that round. It was the fact that how much money we were spending. It ain't cheap to blow one of these things up. It ain’t even cheap to drag it up there, let alone level it top to bottom.”“Tony Stewart loves me already,” Prock said, referring to his days racing midgets and sprints out of Stewart’s shop.
Pedregon will be 60 years old by the start of this year’s Countdown. But he said, “I really do have a desire and I think I am young enough and still have the skill set to maybe win a third championship. That would put my career where I would like it to be.” So Caruso appears to be well on her way to redirecting that statistic, proving her top-rookie honor was deserved. The prize used to be called the Automobile Club of Southern California Road to the Future Award, and Caruso’s road ahead looks quick and fast.No one doubted eight-time Top Fuel champion Tony Schumacher, even after his U.S. Army sponsorship vanished and he no longer the dominant force in the class.

Now, our time is back.
He and Force will continue to be friends, but on the racetrack, she can be his nemesis once again. Both would be up for that. But it would be hard to count out Torrence, who earned a taekwondo black belt, and survived both childhood cancer and later a heart attack, as well as the psychological crush of crashing and destroying the best car he ever had raced with an almost-certain championship just two races away.
Third-year team owner-driver Josh Hart predicted of 2023, “There are going to be a lot of people who are going to try to redeem their performances, and I think there are going to be a few people who want to make their own stamp on things.And he said he believes he’ll “be right there with ‘em.” That’s largely because he has two new Morgan Lucas Racing-built dragsters, ones he said are “the first I’ve ever had built for me, all designed the way we wanted it from scratch.
