Photo Extra: The NHRA’s Season-Opening 54th Annual Gatornationals

Matt Hagan and his Tony Stewart Racing team earned their second straight win in Funny Car at the Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals, to kick off the 2023 Camping World Drag Racing Series season. Hagan was joined in the winner’s circle by Mike Salinas (Top Fuel), Troy Coughlin Jr. (Pro Stock) and Gaige Herrera (Pro Stock Motorcycle), and DRAGZINE’s Dwayne Culpepper was in the house to capture all the action, and the fresh faces and new paint schemes that come with the dawn of a new year. Enjoy this look at the cars and stars (and the champs) of the sold-out, packed-out Gators!
