When Cleetus McFarland started hosting back-of-the-track AWD vs. RWD shootouts on the top end of Bradenton Motorsports Park, nobody could have guessed how big they would become. The biannual races are now surrounded by massive fanfare, and the teams that show up are ready to throw down.
The internet buzz and smack talk between the AWD and RWD teams were bigger than ever for this installment of the shootout. Racers on the RWD team have even got creative and tried to build dually setups for their cars. Team Beater Bomb was stacked with some of the best rear-wheel-drive no-prep stars in the country. Midnight Performance brought its usual group of top-tier all-wheel-drive racers, ready to keep their winning streak going.
In the final, it was Jarrett Bradshaw behind the wheel of his turbocharged Mustang known as “Willie Dynamite” taking on Nathan Wheeler and his “Crazyhorse” F-150. After the pair of Fords rocketed down the track, it was Team RWD coming out on top thanks to Jarrett Bradshaw’s win.
This isn’t Bradshaw’s first top-end no-prep victory. In 2025, Bradshaw also won Dig Or Die at Rockingham Dragway.
