Fans will ultimately determine the single greatest moment in NHRA drag racing history.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u201cThis has become something fans genuinely look forward to every few weeks,\u201d said Elon Werner, creator of Drag Race Bracket Bonanza. \u201cThe Major Moments program has added another layer of excitement to DRBB because it keeps fans engaged all season long. Everyone remembers these moments differently, and watching people debate, defend and relive them has been incredible. That\u2019s exactly what we hoped this would become.\u201d<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>After each bracket closes, DRBB publicly releases the fan-completed results, creating even more discussion among racers, longtime followers and newer fans discovering the sport\u2019s history for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Six-time Pro Stock Motorcycle world champion Matt Smith said the bracket is a reminder of how much the category has evolved over the years.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u201cI\u2019m very proud to represent this class,\u201d said Smith. \u201cI set my life ambition to be a world championship in Pro Stock Motorcycle, and I\u2019ve got six of them, and of course I want to get seven and be the all-time leader in our class, so hopefully we can accomplish that this year. And the big moments I have, some are good, some are bad, but we keep striving, and I\u2019m just glad to help support the class and keep new people coming in.\u201d<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Two-time world champion Gaige Herrera believes the category\u2019s next generation is already creating moments that could someday become part of future brackets.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u201cI just focus on what I\u2019m doing as far as when the big moments are happening,\u201d said Herrera. \u201cThis class is only continuing to get better, so I feel like we\u2019re going to see a lot of people who are already in the class step up, or new people come in, to continue to set records and create major moments.\u201d<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>By combining fan voting, NHRA history and friendly debate, DRBB\u2019s Major Moments brackets have quickly become one of the most interactive additions to the 2026 fantasy season.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>DRBB hopes the program continues sparking passionate conversations among fans about the defining moments, biggest upsets and most legendary performances in NHRA history, all while adding another fun, free and interactive element to the game throughout the season.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remaining Major Moments schedule for 2026:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/elonwerner.us21.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=9f604b5266f23818a0fc02f32&amp;id=11739992aa&amp;e=24eed89046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pro Stock Motorcycle Bracket<\/a>: May 18 \u2013 May 29\u00a0<em>(between the Route 66 Nationals and the Potomac Nationals)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Funny Car Bracket: June 29 \u2013 July 17\u00a0<em>(between the Norwalk Nationals and the Sonoma Nationals)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Overall Bracket: August 24 \u2013 September 5\u00a0<em>(between the Brainerd Nationals and the U.S. Nationals)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0Completed brackets:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/elonwerner.us21.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=9f604b5266f23818a0fc02f32&amp;id=81c246d521&amp;e=24eed89046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top Fuel Bracket<\/a>: February 23 \u2013 March 6\u00a0<em>(leading into the Gatornationals)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/elonwerner.us21.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=9f604b5266f23818a0fc02f32&amp;id=550895fdb7&amp;e=24eed89046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pro Stock Bracket<\/a>: March 30 \u2013 April 10\u00a0<em>(between the Arizona Nationals and the Winternationals)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fans can vote now in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/elonwerner.us21.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=9f604b5266f23818a0fc02f32&amp;id=a9ea5b7fce&amp;e=24eed89046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pro Stock Motorcycle Major Moments bracket<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/elonwerner.us21.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=9f604b5266f23818a0fc02f32&amp;id=41eba49a99&amp;e=24eed89046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DragRaceBracketBonanza.com<\/a>.
