NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Did you think the Capco Contractors team led by driver Steve Torrence would slow down in 2019? Neither did the rest of us. If you're more of the Funny Car persuasion, don't worry, the Yella Fellas and driver J.R. Todd held their own just fine during the Thursday edition of NHRA preseason testing. But talk is cheap: Here are some of the best photos captured by NHRA National Dragster photographer Marc Gewertz -- get used to seeing more of the same all year long. 

Antron Brown hit the track with his Matco Tools team after a disappointing 2018 season. He won once, but didn't achieve the results he or his team wanted. 


Not all that glitters is gold, but we're more partial to silver, anyway. Uh, the color. This isn't literally silver. 


If it looks like old running mates Clay Millican and Mike Kloeber, reunited beginning this season, are up to no good ... well, you're probably right. 


Richie Crampton won the Gatornationals in 2018 but failed to make the Countdown. That's not good enough for crew chief Rob Flynn, as they make their way to the lanes in a new-look DHL Dragster.


If a picture is worth a thousand words, and this image contains 10,000 horsepower... wait, am I supposed to write 10,000,000 words about horsepower?


Shawn Langdon will race in Funny Car for the second season -- this time with Del Worsham as his co-crew chief. Can that bring a second-straight title to Kalitta Motorsports?


Steve Torrence said his father, Billy, winning in Brainerd last year was one of his fondest memories from 2018. That's probably because it didn't come at his expense.
