NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

The 2026 Pro Stock season has already delivered the kind of emotional swings that define championship-caliber racing, and Matt Hartford has been at the center of it all. Hartford opened the year in Gainesville with a statement, capturing the Pro Stock victory at the Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals and immediately establishing himself as a title threat. It was the kind of “feast” performance that teams build entire offseasons around — flawless execution, horsepower, and momentum all aligned. The next two races didn't go as well, but everything changed again at the 2026 NHRA 4-Wide Nationals.
