Alldogs Offroad Coop (ADO) is a cooperative based out of Lincoln, NE, and offers several Titanswap suspension options for Nissan Frontier & Xterra applications. A Titanswap is essentially a long travel suspension unique to the Nissan midsize 4×4 platforms, which allows a combination of aftermarket and OEM components to significantly increase wheel travel and off-road performance, thanks to commonality shared between their midsize (Frontier, Xterra, R51 Pathfinder) and fullsize platforms (Titan, Armada). A Titanswap typically provides about 3-4” of lift over a stock Nissan Frontier, increases track width by about 3” on either side, and increases front wheel travel to approximately 10”. This allows for larger-sized tires, improved off-road stability, improved ride quality, and improved approach angles. The best part – this is a bolt-on upgrade with no permanent modification/fabrication required! Featured on the Overland Expo Ultimate Vehicle Build, the Nissan Frontier is an ADO Titanswap kit paired with ADO-spec proprietary Fox Performance Elite coilovers and rear shocks with DSC high/low compression adjusters. This combination is one of the highest-tier suspension packages offered in a Titanswap package on the market. Additionally, the Overland Expo Ultimate Vehicle Build Frontier features ADO coil springs, ADO parabolic leaf springs, ADO high clearance upper control arms, ADO heavy duty lift shackles, ADO stainless steel tie rod extensions, and ADO extended stainless steel brake lines – all of which are manufactured in the USA. ADO prioritizes manufacturing in the USA as much as possible and focuses on durable and dependable suspension products for overlanding and off-roading. View the full article

For the first time, NHRA’s Mission Foods Drag Racing Series is racing at South Georgia Motorsports Park, and on the first day of qualifying there at the NHRA Southern Nationals, Greg Anderson rolled the dice on an unknown racing surface and came up aces. Driving the HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro out of the esteemed KB Titan Racing stable of Pro Stock cars, six-time world champ Anderson is set to thrown down on Saturday at SGMP in an effort to keep hold of the top spot and chase a second Mission #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge title. In the first session of qualifying on a racetrack that no one yet knew how to manage, Anderson was out of the gate with a wildly quick 6.498-second pass at 210.60 mph. Three bonus points were drawn in, and the KB Titan team began to build a notebook. In the second session, the power applied was more than the racetrack could hold, which set bookends for Anderson and his HendrickCars.com Chevy. “It’s great out there, it’s fantastic, and that’s why we used to come here to test,” said Anderson, who hadn’t been to South Georgia Motorsports Park in upwards of a decade. “There were quite a few cars that got over-center today, but that’s just because the air was very good and we’re making a lot of power. We missed a little bit on the starting line second session and got a little bit too aggressive, but that will just be a small adjustment for tomorrow.” Weather permitting, Saturday should bring two final rounds of qualifying as well as the Mission #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge, the specialty race that pits the semifinalists from the previous race against one another for bragging rights and bonus points that will come into play when the Countdown to the Championship kicks begins. Anderson, along with KB Titan Racing teammates Matt Latino, Cody Coughlin, and Charlotte winner Matt Hartford, will all compete in the bonus event. If Anderson holds onto the top spot, it will be the fourth consecutive and 144th No. 1 qualifier award of his career. “Power-wise, the weather is looking good all weekend, so it’s going to be fast, and come Sunday, it’s going to be a great race,” said Anderson. “This is such a neat place to race. The people here are very appreciative that we’re here, and I like that a lot. I love being here, and I’m having fun.” Qualifying and the first rounds of the Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge are scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at South Georgia Motorsports Park, with final qualifying and the #2Fast2Tasty finals to take place beginning at 3 p.m. ET.

Top Fuel’s Shawn Langdon made the fastest pass in NHRA history on Friday, making a huge splash in NHRA’s debut at South Georgia Motorsports Park and taking the provisional No. 1 spot at the NHRA Southern Nationals. J.R. Todd (Funny Car), Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) and Matt Smith (Pro Stock Motorcycle) are also the provisional No. 1 qualifiers at the fifth of 20 races during the 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season. Langdon went 3.724-seconds at an incredible 345.00 mph in his 12,000-horsepower Kalitta Air dragster, shattering the previous speed record of 343.51 set by Brittany Force last year in Indianapolis. The record-breaking pass puts Langdon, a past world champion in the category, on track for his third No. 1 qualifier of the season and the 25th in his career. Langdon made impressive passes in testing before the season-opener in Gainesville and had made 340-mph runs in his career, but making the fastest run in NHRA history on Friday certainly qualifies as an incredible statement for the driver named to NHRA’s Top 75 Drivers list before the season. “To see that [345 mph] pop up on the scoreboard, I think it was special for the guys. I was happy for them, especially Brian [Husen, crew chief],” Langdon said. “We were able to do that testing and some people had different ideas on what they thought, if it was legit or not. We kind of talked about it and Brian was like, ‘Well, we’ll just do it in the season to prove it was legit’. “It’s also good to be able to do that here, at this new track, in front of these new fans. I knew it was on a good run, but I was actually a little surprised because you don’t really notice the mile per hour.” Tony Stewart went to second with a 3.758 at 334.40 and points leader Doug Kalitta is third after going 3.762 at 334.40. Not to be outdone by his Kalitta Motorsports teammate, Funny Car’s J.R. Todd had his own spectacular showing on Friday at South Georgia Motorsports Park, making the fastest pass of the year in Funny Car with a fantastic run of 3.887 at 339.28 in his 12,000-horsepower DHL Toyota GR Supra. It sets a massive career-best speed for the past world champion and puts Todd in position to pick up his second No. 1 qualifier of the season and 16th in his career. After going five years in between No. 1 qualifiers, Todd now has a chance for two in the past three races, which is a great showcase for the progress of his team. He’s third in points and closing in on his first victory of the season, and Todd was also impressed with the 3.930 the team ran in the second round of qualifying, giving him the best pass of both sessions on Friday. “Obviously, today was a good day and kind of continues everything we’ve done so far this year,” Todd said. “We hit the ground running in testing and I knew we had a really good car. What I’m happy with is Dickie [Venables] and Todd [Smith] adjusting to the conditions. Even here, the track is good, but it’s still a bit tricky, and you see a lot of people struggling to get down. We made that good run in Q1 and the speed surprised me when I got out and saw the time slip. “We went back and kind of slowed it down for Q2, because we just wanted to make sure we got down the track. We weren’t trying to throw down, but they said we pretty much got all of it. It was refreshing to hear that we didn’t leave anything on the table.” Jordan Vandergriff sits second with his pass of 3.924 at 325.14 and Pomona winner Matt Hagan jumped to third in the second session after going 3.933 at 328.78. Pro Stock’s Greg Anderson continues to be nearly unstoppable in qualifying and that was evident on Friday, blasting to a 6.498 at 210.60 in his HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro as he looks for his fourth straight No. 1 qualifier of the season. No other car sniffed the 6.40s on Friday at SGMP, putting the six-time world champ in a great position to claim his 144th career No. 1 qualifier. Anderson has praised the car all year and the results have shown, as he’s advanced to the final round at three of the first four races, winning in Pomona. He’d love to do it again at NHRA’s debut at the facility and add another impressive accomplishment to his legacy. “This is a good racetrack, but it seems like quite a few of us got a little greedy today, just because the air was so good. We made a lot of power out there today, and some of us missed, including myself,” Anderson said. “We missed a little bit on the starting line, just got a little bit too aggressive, but other than that, we just have to adjust for tomorrow. It’s not a big adjustment.” Eric Latino is second after Friday thanks to his 6.508 at 209.75 and Aaron Stanfield is third with a run of 6.525 at 210.60. In Pro Stock Motorcycle, Matt Smith made his NHRA debut at SGMP on his Denso Auto Parts Buell a good one, making the first run in the 6.60s in 2026 with a standout pass of 6.669 at 203.03. It’s the quickest run of the season in the category and puts Smith on track for his second straight No. 1 qualifier. This comes a race after he became Pro Stock Motorcycle’s all-time leader in No. 1 qualifiers with 60. Smith, a six-time world champion is now looking to make it 61 and he had a consistent Friday with the quickest run in each session. Next on the to-do list for Smith is finishing the job and he hopes Friday’s strong start at a new track leads to his first victory of the 2026 campaign. “You know, we tested a lot, even when we left Charlotte, we went and tested again in Rockingham, so, I mean, we’re out here trying to be better and it’s showing every day. We’re getting better and better, and that’s the name of the game,” Smith said. “Looking at the weather I said we should run 6.69 to 6.70, and it went 6.699, so it was as close to a 70 as you can get. On the second run, we had a headwind, so we knew we were going to slow down a little bit.” Charlotte winner Gaige Herrera is currently second with a run of 6.723 at 200.23 and reigning world champ Richard Gadson is right behind after going 6.730 at 201.37. Qualifying continues at 12:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at the NHRA Southern Nationals at South Georgia Motorsports Park. This story was originally published on May 1, 2026.

As a three-time No Prep Kings points champion and winningest driver ever in the series, Ryan Martin is no stranger to success. His stoic nature is one of a driver that never appears to be too high or too low. But standing at the top end of zMAX Dragway after winning the first-ever event in the Right Trailers Outlaw Street class at the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals, not even Martin could reign in his emotions. “Honestly, it’s pretty surreal,” says Martin. “I thank God that I’ve been very fortunate – I’ve won races for $100,000 and I’ve won championships back-to-back, and that is all fantastic. But you still go, ‘Hey, NHRA is the big stage, NHRA gives away Wally’s, and I don’t have one of those.’ This class gave us the ability to go get a Wally – a 75th anniversary Diamond Wally. That was just icing on the cake.” The final round was decided right at the starting line. Martin’s opponent, Scott Taylor, went -.002 red, throwing away a 3.702-second pass at 195.65. A timing malfunction in Martin’s lane caused him to not receive a time, and despite seeing the win light come on in his lane, it took a couple minutes until he knew for sure. “It was a very odd moment,” Martin says. “I could clearly tell he got out in front of me, so the first thing I do is look up to see if he went red. He didn’t have a red light when I looked up, but I had a win light. I make my pass and no time comes up. I’m on my radio going, ‘What happened? What happened?’ waiting for somebody to say something. They’d already kicked their headphones off celebrating. Until I parked the car next to Scott, then looked over at the guy walking up to me with the Wally…that’s the first time I knew.” The weekend wasn’t without its challenges. Martin’s team struggled throughout qualifying, with a 3.889 at 177.84 mph being his best pass, narrowly making the field in the No. 8 position. His reward for getting in the show was a first-round matchup with No. 1 qualifier Kyle Canion, who posted a 3.667 elapsed time at an incredible 218.58 mph. Martin admits there was no specific moment that turned things around. “I hate to say this, but I think we just had a lot of bad luck,” says Martin. “We tested at Rockingham on the way here, and we couldn’t do no wrong. This car’s been a 3.64 before, and we were dipping close to that. When we left the test session, I thought we were gonna be in good shape. “We showed up for Q1 and I honestly believed we were going to go down and set the bar, but we busted the bypass valve off the hose. In Q2 it was a tuneup malfunction, and Q3 the thing smoked the tires out of nowhere. Sometimes you get bad luck and sometimes you get good luck – we just had a string of bad luck.” Martin’s luck changed quickly in eliminations. He used a slight starting line advantage and a 3.724 e.t. at 210.57 mph to get around Canion in Saturday afternoon’s first round, who slowed to a 3.807 at 175.94. From there, he knew he had his hot rod back headed into Sunday. “We knew you can only suck so many times, right?” Martin says with a laugh. “We knew Kyle was the car to beat, but we also knew the sun was out. The track was 125 degrees. That’s where [tuner] Jamie [Miller] came in and really helped us out. He said, ‘Let’s calm it down, make a fast run in the heat of the day.’ That’s why we won, because he made the right tuning call on race day.” In the semifinals, Martin faced his teammate Carson Baker in his orange “Speedo Cheeto” Camaro. Like Taylor would do later in the final round, Baker also went red, handing Martin a free ticket to the final round. While some might argue that Martin got lucky being on the receiving end of two red lights in three rounds, it’s also an example of how widely respected Martin is – opponents know they have to cut a great light to beat him. “I guess you could call it an intimidation factor,” says Martin. “For me to be able to go up there and they be worried about racing me, I like that. Carson’s my teammate, so I don’t like to have that on him. He had a bunch of family members here, and he was on a big stage. It was easier for me to just breathe and make a pass than it was for him. “Scott, that’s a different story. He’s a veteran driver. Him and I have been battling it out back and forth for 10-plus years now. We know how to deal with each other, and he was getting in my head as much as I was getting in his. You could say he had a consistent car and I didn’t, but at the end of the day, we got the W.” This story was originally published on May 1, 2026.

For the first time as an official series in the NHRA, the JBS Equipment NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by Elite Motorsports will compete at South Georgia Motorsports Park, bringing a wealth of talented racers and action to the area as part of this weekend’s NHRA Southern Nationals. This weekend’s event is the fourth of 11 races in the category during the 2026 campaign and this weekend’s race is powered by Dixie Trucking. Scott Tidwell, a racer and team owner in the NHRA Pro Mod ranks, owns Dixie Trucking and he’s thrilled to see the class – and the NHRA national event tour – make its official debut at South Georgia Motorsports Park and the region’s impressive fanbase. “Being the ‘Powered By’ sponsor this weekend in Valdosta is a great opportunity for Dixie Trucking to connect with the racers, teams, businesses and fans who make this sport so special,” Tidwell said. “Pro Mod is built on hard work, trust and strong partnerships, and that is exactly how we run our company. We’re always looking to build new business relationships, grow with the right partners and bring great people onto our team. If you’re looking for a company that values relationships and drives for its people, Dixie Trucking is ready to talk.” It’s the first back-to-back race of the season for the category as NHRA Pro Mod nears the end of the regular season. There’s been a different winner at each of the first three races, with Mike Stavrinos taking the win last weekend in Charlotte. He’ll look to keep rolling against a stellar field as he jumped to second in points behind only Justin Bond, who won in Phoenix. The rest of the loaded field includes past world champions Stevie “Fast” Jackson and Mike Castellana, as well as the likes of Billy Banaka, Gainesville winner Derek Menholt, Alex Laughlin, Mason Wright, Stan Shelton and Chip King. The JBS Equipment NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by Elite Motorsports features two qualifying rounds at 1 and 3:30 p.m. ET on Friday, and the final two qualifying rounds at 11:55 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.
