Drag Illustrated is proud to announce that FuelTech has been named the Official Vehicle Management System of the Drag Illustrated Winter Series, establishing a cornerstone partnership that aligns two leading forces in drag racing. With its state-of-the-art vehicle management solutions, FuelTech will power countless racers from a wide variety of backgrounds, all converging in Florida for one of the most anticipated gatherings in the sport.
“We’re beyond excited to partner with FuelTech for the Winter Series,” said Wes Buck, Founder and Editorial Director of Drag Illustrated. “These events bring together so many different racers—from No Prep Kings heavy hitters to PDRA and NHRA champions—and they all need a cutting-edge solution to manage these high-horsepower, high-performance machines. To have a world-class name like FuelTech onboard speaks volumes about the momentum and energy behind the Winter Series. We’re incredibly proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Anderson [Dick], Luis [de Leon] and their team.”
The Drag Illustrated Winter Series has quickly developed into a proving ground for door-car drag racing, uniting top-tier tuners, drivers, and teams in a short season that highlights the very best in competition. FuelTech’s reputation for trackside support, racer-focused innovation, and unparalleled product performance has made it the go-to choice for anyone looking to push a Pro Mod, radial, or other high-powered doorslammer to its limits.
“We believe doorslammer racing is in a golden era, and the Drag Illustrated Winter Series is the perfect stage to showcase what FuelTech can do,” said Luis de Leon, Chief Operating Officer at FuelTech. “From innovative traction control to real-time data analysis, our products are designed to help racers find the edge they need to win—whether it’s a Pro Mod, No Prep Kings car, or something in between. We’ve watched Wes and his team build an incredible platform for teams to truly test themselves against the best in the world, and it’s exciting for FuelTech to be right there in the thick of it.”
FuelTech’s presence at the Winter Series will include offering at-track technical support, introducing new product features, and showcasing how the brand’s engine management and data-logging capabilities can empower racers to tune and refine on the fly. As part of the partnership, Drag Illustrated will also feature FuelTech’s innovations across its media channels and at-track activations, highlighting the synergy that has helped so many drivers reach the winner’s circle.
“Beyond the insane performance we’re seeing from these teams at this point in time – like the record-setting field we had at the Snowbirds – the most impressive part of this is the consistency and the repeatability these Pro Mods demonstrate these days,” added Buck. “Horsepower has never really been an issue in Pro Mod, it’s been the challenge that is managing all that power and managing the vehicle as a whole, and that’s where FuelTech shines. This partnership perfectly represents the mission of the Winter Series: bringing together the best and brightest to take Pro Mod drag racing to the next level.”
The 2025 Drag Illustrated Winter Series consists of three marquee events at Bradenton Motorsports Park, each of which showcases a stacked roster of national and international competitors. With the addition of FuelTech as an official partner, all eyes will be on Florida to see how this cutting-edge collaboration drives the doorslammer drag racing world forward.
