DID YOU KNOW: After the September 11th terrorist attacks, when airports were closed and all flights were grounded, the only plane in the sky that was not an F-16 fighter was a Kalitta Air 747 hauling relief supplies from the West coast to aid disaster workers. Thank you to Kalitta Air for all you do for our country, & thank you to the brave men and women who continue to fight for our freedom. 🇺🇸

.853 60-FOOT POWERS QUARTUCCIO TO 3.426 AT 212.81 AT RADIAL OUTLAWS

Steele, AL — When you see an .853 on the front half, you already know it’s about to get serious.

Ken Quartuccio reset the Radial vs. the World record once again at the Radial Outlaws event at Alabama International Dragway, throwing down a stout 3.426 at 212.81 in the 1/8 mile. Quartuccio delivered a nasty .853 sixty-foot that set the tone for the entire pass.

Momentum is real right now… and with numbers like this, don’t be surprised if the 3.30s get knocked on sooner rather than later.

Schedule and track change

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FAIRFIELD, OH — April 17, 2026 — We have made the decision, in coordination with management at Montgomery International Dragway, to relocate the third race of the IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series and IHRA Small Tire BRATZ Series from Montgomery, Alabama.

The event, scheduled for May 7–9, will now take place at Darana Raceway in Hebron, Ohio (National Trail Raceway ). Testing will be held on Wednesday, May 6.

This decision follows a recent shooting at the Montgomery facility. While the situation is unrelated to our operations, we agreed alongside track leadership that relocating the event is the most responsible course of action out of an abundance of caution.

The safety of our racers, their families, crews, partners, fans, and staff remain our top priority. This decision reflects our commitment to providing a safe and professional environment for everyone involved.

With this move, the May 7–9 event in Hebron will now be branded as the IHRA Spring Nationals.

As the third race of the IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series season, this event remains a key stop on our national schedule, and championship points will continue as planned.

Due to the relocation, adjustments have been made to the existing event schedule at Darana Raceway to accommodate the IHRA national event weekend.

“To support the IHRA National Series, we’ve adjusted our schedule by moving our points race weekend to June 12–14 and canceling the Darana Triple 5’s event,” said Derrick Beach, General Manager of Darana Raceway.

We will communicate additional details, including schedule updates and ticketing information, directly with racers, teams, and ticket holders.

All current ticket holders will be contacted via email with options to receive a refund or transfer their tickets to another IHRA event.

For any questions, please contact [email protected].

We’re looking forward to bringing the IHRA Spring Nationals to Hebron and delivering a strong weekend of IHRA competition. We appreciate the continued support and understanding of our racers, teams, partners, and fans.
