The award-winning National Dragster photographers compiled this collection of exciting and emotional moments from the 2022 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing season.

Two-time NHRA Pro Modified champion Stevie “Fast” Jackson isn’t even out of the cast he’s been wearing since undergoing neck surgery on December 19, 2022. Yet, he’s already running wide open into 2023.

Ron Capps never led the points until when it mattered the most, on the last day of the season, but he nonetheless enjoyed a thrilling and highlight-filled season in his first year as a Funny Car team owner. 

Two bikes, or not two bikes. That is the question and Matt Smith had an answer as he took a unique approach to the Pro Stock Motorcycle class to win his sixth Camping World NHRA championship.

With a sixth Pro Stock Motorcycle championship, Matt Smith tied the late Dave Schultz and Andrew Hines as the only riders to have ever won as many titles. 

The list of drivers who have won five or more NHRA Pro Stock championships is short, but it includes some of the best racers the sport has ever produced, including Bob Glidden, Warren Johnson, Greg Anderson, Jeg Coughlin Jr., and now Erica Enders. 

The staff of the NHRA wishes a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to the fans, sponsors, race teams, racetracks, and other supporters of the NHRA.

It would be a fair assumption that few people outside of the hardcore Pro Mod fans knew Kris Thorne’s name before the 2022 season launched, but after scoring four 2022 wins and the championship, it’s a sure bet that his name won’t soon be forgotten.

Two-time NHRA Pro Modified champion Stevie "Fast" Jackson underwent surgery on Monday, December 19, 2022, to repair damage to his neck following multiple high-speed crashes dating back to 2008. Doctors have said he could be sidelined for up to six months while healing.

Josh Hart wasn't treading lightly when he made his NHRA Top Fuel debut two years ago, and his intensity certainly didn't wane over his sophomore season. When the events of Hart's pre-nitro life are brought into perspective, his assertive stance makes a lot of sense. 

John Force enjoyed another successful season in 2022 with a win in Charlotte and runner-up finishes in Sonoma and Topeka on his way to a No. 5 finish. Courtesy of Brian Lohnes, here's a closer look at how he did it.

In 2002, Joey Severance reclaimed his position as King of the Hill and earned the fifth NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Top Alcohol Dragster championship of his career in a category that is displaying increasing parity.

Think about being a prizefighter who gets knocked down in the middle rounds of the fight but gets back up and keeps punching and wins the bout. That’s Doug Gordon, your 2022 Top Alcohol Funny Car champion, who recovered from a nasty midseason crash to win the title.

Greg Anderson wasn't able to defend his 2021 Pro Stock championship but that doesn't mean his 2022 season wasn't a success, and he's even more optimistic about his future.

Frustrated by his runner-up finish in the 2021 Constant Aviation NHRA Factory Stock Showdown, David Barton delivered an all-star performance in 2022 that included three wins and a season championship and a robust total of 712 points.

Heading into the 2023 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season reigning NHRA Rookie of the Year Camrie Caruso will be one of four drivers racing under the KB Titan Racing banner behind the wheel of a Chevrolet Camaro in Pro Stock.

Following the retirement of founder Ken Black, KB Racing has announced a merger with Titan Racing, to form a team that will now be known as KB Titan Racing. They are expected to field multiple Pro Stock entries during the 2023 Camping World NHRA Drag Racing season.

JEGS will continue as a partner of NHRA as part of a multi-year extension, including the continuation of the longtime JEGS Allstars and JEGS SPORTSnationals. The JEGS Allstars will move to Texas Motorplex in October as part of the Texas NHRA FallNationals.

NHRA has announced that Flexjet, a global leader in subscription-based private aviation, has been named the title sponsor of the exciting Factory Stock Showdown class for the upcoming 2023 season.

As a longtime crewmember for the Mountain View Performance team, Ryan Priddy had enjoyed success as a bracket, Top Sportsman, and Factory Stock racer, all of which provided the necessary experience to fuel his drive to the 2022 NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Comp world title.

The old adage “In order to be the champ, you’ve got to beat the champ” is one of the most over-used clichés in sports, but it just happens to perfectly describe Pete D’Agnolo’s 2022 season and his drive to the NHRA Lucas Oil Series Super Stock world championship. 

It took nearly two decades, but Jimmy Hidalgo Jr. was finally able to check a mighty goal off his to-do list when he earned the 2022 NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Stock eliminator world title. 

Erica Enders won her fifth Camping World NHRA Pro Stock title thanks to a dominant performance but just how dominant was she? NHRA's Brian Lohnes takes a closer look at the numbers from 2022.
