LEGENDS RACE WITH BERNSTEIN, AMATO, WJ & LARSON SET FOR AMALIE MOTOR OIL NHRA GATORNATIONALS<\/strong><\/p>\n

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (March 3, 2026) \u2013 In addition to their appearance at the upcoming Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals, legendary NHRA drivers Kenny Bernstein, Joe Amato, Warren Johnson and Bruce Larson will take to the track on Friday and Saturday for a special legends match race at Gainesville Raceway.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s another added item for NHRA\u2019s kickoff to the 75th anniversary season in Gainesville, as fans will see four of NHRA\u2019s biggest names take to the track in 550-horsepower 2026 Dodge Charger Sixpacks.<\/p>\n

The first round is slated for 2:20 p.m. on Friday, March 6, leading into the opening round of qualifying in the 12,000-horsepower, 340-mph Funny Car and Top Fuel ranks.<\/p>\n

The two winners will meet up in the final round at 12 p.m. on Saturday, March 7, right before the opening round of the Right Trailers Top Fuel All-Star Callout. The winner of the four-car legends race will also receive the special Golden Gator trophy given to all Gainesville winners.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an incredible four-car lineup with some of the biggest names in NHRA history. Johnson racked up six world championships in Pro Stock and a remarkable 97 wins, while Larson raced in both Funny Car and Pro Stock, winning a Funny Car championship in 1989. Bernstein earned six world titles across Top Fuel and Funny Car, and Amato was a standout force in Top Fuel, winning 52 races and five world titles.<\/p>\n

Joining them in Gainesville will be Don Garlits, Don Prudhomme, a four-time world champion, three-time Top Fuel champ Shirley Muldowney and Bob Frey. Each will be making several appearances throughout the weekend, including the Top Eliminator Club<\/a>, in the announcer\u2019s booth, on the Nitro Alley stage and more.<\/p>\n
