I’ve recently completed my first year as owner of the International Hot Rod Association and it has been quite an adventure.

First, thanks to all the track operators, racers and valued partners like Summit Racing Equipment and Sunoco Race Fuels who put their trust in our team to continue the IHRA’s mission to stay committed to the grassroots, Sportsman racers. Thanks to our dedicated staff who share in the vision and understand ultimately we all work for the racers and tracks.

William Keele Jr. surprised himself with his performance at the IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals presented by Strange Engineering.

After qualifying for the race at Holly Springs Motorsports Park, the Texas racer decided to bring a bike he had built some 40 years ago and hadn’t been on a while. Turns out that was a great choice as the Keele, representing Edinburg Motorsports Park, made it all the way to the final round of eliminations.

Ty Janousek is only 13 years old, but has been racing nearly half his life.
