Small Tire Pro Stock and Nostalgia Drag Racing League are preparing for a powerful presentation with the NDRL World Nostalgia Drags presented by Liberty’s Gears, Indy Cylinder Head and JR1 Racing Oil, Sept. 11-12, 2026 at Darana Raceway in Hebron, Ohio.
The event promises adrenaline-pumping action from Small Tire Pro Stock and NDRL classes, including Pro 7.0, Pro 7.50, Pro Comp, Pro Gas, Modified Production, Nostalgia Super Stock, Nostalgia Gasser and more.
“The Small Tire Pro Stock community has learned a lot about the NDRL community this year,” said David Theisen, who won the Small Tire Pro Stock race and an NHRA Speed For All Wally in August. “Like Small Tire Pro Stock, NDRL respects past and present racing, and is focused on its future. Since Small Tire Pro Stock is mostly made up of former NMCA NA 10.5 racers who were close to racers in other classes, we feel at home with the whole NDRL family.”
This event is second-to-last on this year’s tours for Small Tire Pro Stock and NDRL, whose mission is to “Preserve the Past. Build the Future.” That means racers will go all-out to win and wrap up season championships, and every round will have fans on the edge of their seats.
“NDRL is always excited to bring our racers, families and fans to Darana National Trail Raceway each year, and what makes these events so special is the opportunity to come together with other great racing organizations, like the always-fast, always-exciting Small Tire Pro Stock organization, which shares our passion for preserving the history, tradition, and excitement of drag racing,” said Chris Crady, NDRL secretary.
“Small Tire Pro Stock continues to raise the bar, giving fans an incredible show and bringing another level of excitement to the track. We’re proud to be part of an event that brings racers, families, organizations, sponsors and fans together. That’s what drag racing is all about. Events like this simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible sponsors who continue to support NDRL and help make these events happen. Sponsors like Liberty’s Gears, Indy Cylinder Heads, JR1 Oil and Laris Motorsports Insurance. We are excited that Small Tire Pro Stock is joining us at this event and look forward to putting on one heck of a show for the fans.”
In addition to the scheduled race, Small Tire Pro Stock’s Dwight Ausmus, David Theisen, David Murray and Rob Ingles, who were in the semifinal at the rain-delayed race in July at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, will pick up where they left off with the hope of landing the win.
