Denton dedicated his championship to the late Lizzy Musi, who raced the \u201cBonnie\u201d \u201969 Camaro in No Prep Kings competition even after being diagnosed with breast cancer. After she passed, parents Pat and Liz Musi trusted Denton and the Franklin family to field the car in Lizzy\u2019s memory in PDRA Pro Street. Denton made his debut late in the 2024 season in preparation for a full campaign in 2025. Two years later, he delivered a world championship for the Musi family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a dream come true,\u201d Denton said. \u201cTo be able to drive this car is a true honor and I really can\u2019t thank Pat and Liz enough for allowing me to do that and trusting me with it. I just hope I made all our fans proud.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before Pro Street, Denton competed in 1320 Fabrication Super Street presented by Brian\u2019s Heating & Cooling, where he won the 2023 world championship. He was in the middle of his championship defense season when he made the move to Pro Street. Denton now joins a select group of drivers who\u2019ve won world championships in two pro classes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s everyone\u2019s dream to be a champion, but to be a multi-time champion, it\u2019s truly an honor,\u201d Denton said. \u201cI will say they\u2019re completely different cars. The Super Street car was all over the place. It\u2019s sliding side to side, but this Pro Street car, it\u2019s an animal. It\u2019s a 4,000-horsepower race car and you\u2019re on a 10.5-inch tire. It makes you focus and it takes the best out of you, and that\u2019s what I like about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Denton also talked about the significance of racing together as a family. In addition to sharing the ProStars winner\u2019s circle with Amber during the World Finals weekend, Denton also won together with his father-in-law, three-time Pro Nitrous world champion Tommy Franklin, at the East Coast Nationals earlier in the season. Sister-in-law Ashley Franklin, who recently announced plans to move up to Pro 632, finished No. 10 in ATI Performance Products Top Dragster presented by TBM Brakes points.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why we do it. We do it as a family. All of our crew\u2019s family. Thanks to the whole TFM crew, Tommy and Judy, my wife Amber, Jeff Pierce, Pat and Liz, and all the companies that back us,\u201d Denton said, noting partners like Pat Musi Racing Engines, Red Line Oil, TBM Brakes, WELD Racing, and Mickey Thompson Tires. \u201cTo be able to win with my wife the other night was truly something special for us and we\u2019ll definitely cherish it for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reagan, the current Pro Street E.T. record holder, is the championship runner-up in his screw-blown \u201991 Mustang with a win at his home track, Bristol Dragway, and two semifinal finishes. Joel Wensley Jr., who earned his first career win at the North vs. South Shootout at Maryland, finished third in his ProCharged \u201914 Camaro.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Red Line Oil PDRA Drag Racing Series will celebrate its 2026 world champions at the PDRA Championship Awards Banquet on Friday, Dec. 11 during the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Show weekend in Indianapolis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
