NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Garlits has been an innovator, a driver, a mechanic, and a promoter. And throughout all of his success, he has inspired other racers and left his indelible mark on drag racing from coast to coast. In this Dodge Tales from the Strip segment, we see Garlits' first and final wins at the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip. Where for nearly three decades, nitro-burning Hemi engines delivered Garlits to the winner's circle. 

In 2024, NHRA celebrates the 60th anniversary of the 426-cid Hemi, which without Garlits may not have become the backbone of modern nitro racing that it has.
