DRIVER LIST PUBLISHED (as of 8/3):

Drivers for the 2026 Duluth Drag Race, presented by Redline Performance & Fabrication and Lake Country Supply Co. - NAPA Auto Parts are posted below.

Reserve Drivers listed are on the waiting list in the event we have any drops. The Reserve list is still open if any additional drivers want to sign up. Last year everyone on the reserve list got it eventually.

Driver Letter Updates:

We will be sending out the driver letter to the first 100 drivers who registered via email in the next 7-10 days. The email you used when you registered will be the email address the letter will go out to.

The driver letter will also contain a link for weekend camping/parking. The event is not allowed to camp onsite and we have found an alternative location for dry camping a mile away from the venue for those drivers participating.

If you are on the Reserve/Waitlist you will also get the same letter and information but will provide additional details as to the process of getting off the waitlist. We still have 12 spots available on the Reserve/Waitlist and once its full we will no longer be taking additional drivers.

DRIVER UPDATE:

We have reached our racer limit for primary driver registration for the 2026 Duluth Drag Races, presented by Redline Performance & Fabrication and Lake Country Supply Co. - NAPA Auto Parts!

The "Reserve/Standby Drivers Registration" is now open. This list allows you to register as a reserve driver and if we have a driver that drops out for any reason we then pull from this list to replace those drivers.

The Reserve List is open to the first 25 drivers who sign up. Please note that in 2025 we pulled every reserve driver so it is worth signing up if you were unable to register on the primary list.

If you are not pulled up your driver registration fee is refunded. The link to sign up is here: https://form.jotform.com/262023804804147
