Guys, welcome to the Drag Driver, Pete News presented by Summit Racing for October 10th, 2026 I cannot believe we are this deep into the year. It's absolutely insane. This episode, we're going to talk about Race Week results and stories. We've got Dragon Drive World Champion Points Updates, kinda 666 stories, and we're down to just seven Dragon Drive events left in 2026 We're going to go over those.

All right, guys, good morning and welcome to the Drag Driver Repeat News presented by Summit Racing for October 10th, 2026 My name is Mike Narks. I'm the host of this episode and the show that happens on Wednesday nights. And I've done a bad job of setting up for this next Wednesday. But I'm telling you, I'm going to message like five people this afternoon that I think would give us some incredible stories from Race Week or 666 I'm kind of excited about this list. And my co-host, introduce yourself. Tell them what you got going on, man.

I am Eric White, co-host of the show and news. And man, just hammering away at photos.

That seems to be my life this time of year. Always behind at the end of the year, but we're powering through them.

Well, the hard part is they just stack. They stack so hard, you know what I mean? Because I was thinking about this with the Championship Point stuff that I was working on yesterday, all day yesterday. And there's literally, like you have this crazy run of events in June and early July, and then there's not much. And then you have this, we've had this crazy run of mid-September to early October. And man, it was so hard to get caught back up on all of that stuff that I can't imagine the photo side of it. Like I'm just working in Excel spreadsheets. I don't have to make sure that, you know, Eric Grillo's Nova looks good from a picture that Michael Darks took. You know what I mean?

So well, guys, listen, it was awesome to hang out with you guys this week. It was really fun. But I finished an article last night or yesterday morning early that just basically is two days isn't enough.

And man, it was so hard to go hang out with my race car friends, spend some days, you know, kind of cruise along with them. Jan Haas and Lance Walker led the way most of the way Wednesday morning. And it was just really kind of fun. And but it wasn't long enough, dude. I needed that week long of just abuse. So I didn't get it. But I do want to say thanks to everybody there. Thanks everybody watching this morning. Please hit that share button as we move in here. And if you're watching live, hit that like button down on the bottom because that tells all of the platforms, people are watching this, they like it. So don't just enjoy it, also like that. And then of course, if you're doing some shopping, hit up our sponsors. We can't do it without these guys. So please show them some love. And if you're on the phone with one of these, be like, hey man, those guys over at Drag Drive Repeat, wear me out about your products. So we would appreciate that a whole bunch. Summit Racing, of course, the title sponsor of the show and news and the circuit event, and the Drag and Drive Awards. It's coming up here in just a few weeks at PRI. I'm excited about that. Detrox, of course, the official field delivery of Drag Driver Repeat and the title sponsor for the short circuit coming up again.

Less than a month, Molly Motorsports got to hang out with Eric Griglio over at the Race Week event. That was so much fun seeing his Nova out again. Driven Racing Oil, of course, probably some of the hardest working dudes in all of Drag and Drive. Michael Neal has been all over the country pulling that Driven Racing Oil trailer around. And of course, Luke B at Howard's Cams, J Blanchard at J Wire Solutions. Can I start calling him JB.?

Luke B and JB., Eric Saffold, Afco Racing Products that don't just do suspension, they do some bunch of cooling and stuff. Performa Built Transmission is the best transmission builder on the planet. I mean, they put a 4L60 in the 7s. I don't think I need to explain any more than that. CarChains3D and then of course, Low Dollar Motorsports who hosted their first event a couple of weeks ago or last weekend with the Turkey Bash. So if you need some good sensors, man, hit them up there. Also our daily burnout sponsor. So appreciate them and all they do. But let's talk or let's let Mr. Brian Loans tell us about some Summit Racing stuff before we get into what I think is maybe a really good post as we lead into the in-air quotes here off season.
