The 2017 Chevrolet Performance Car Craft Summer Nationals Presented by Holley/MSD is shaping up to be a stellar event, one that combines all types of motorsports, from drifting, to autocross and drag racing. Now we’re pleased to announce that two special guests will be in attendance: Larry Dixon and Jeff Lutz. Larry Dixon is a three-time NHRA Top Fuel Champion with 62 event wins. He’s a passionate car enthusiast who’s been as fast as 332 mph in the quarter mile. He’s also a cancer survivor who recently came back from two fractured vertebrae after a terrifying crash in Gainsville in 2015. The California native, and protégé of Don Prudhomme will serve as the show’s Grand Marshal, and we are honored to have him!
Drag Weekers and Street Outlaws fans alike know the name Jeff Lutz. The chassis builder-turned-TV-Star gained notoriety for his appearances on Discovery’s Street Outlaws and his commanding win of Hot Rod’s Drag Week 2016 with an average time of 6.191 throughout the week-long competition. Later last year, he broke the 5-second barrier with an astonishing 5.87, 251 mph pass in Orlando, a new record for a street car.
The Car Craft Summer Nationals is quickly becoming a mecca for the automotive enthusiasts. Thanks to help from Chevrolet Performance, Holley/MSD, and Gear Vendors Under/Overdrive, we will have it all- a top-notch car show, Pro Builders, drag racing, autocross, drifting, and Midnight Drags.
