This Labor Day, we tip our hats to the people who make this sport what it is. 🇺🇸

To the racers putting in late nights in the shop. The crews turning wrenches long after everyone else has gone home. Our track crew grinding behind the scenes. And the fans who work hard all week and choose to spend their weekends at the dragstrip with us.

Drag racing has always been built by hardworking people.

Happy Labor Day from all of us at The Historic Texas Motorplex.

Six weeks until we write the 2026 chapter… and we already know what’s waiting for us in 2027. 👀

The NHRA Texas Fall Nationals return to the Stampede of Speed next year, October 13–17, 2027 — and this one comes with some serious racing history.

NHRA will celebrate 50 Years of John Force — the 16-time champion we had the honor of naming a Motorplex Legend in 2025.

But first… Stampede of Speed 2026. October 9–18. We’ve got 75 years of NHRA to celebrate… and some business to handle. 🔥

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Oliver the Watusi, the beloved official mascot of Texas Motorplex. Oliver passed peacefully last night. ❤️

Oliver was a beacon of joy at the Motorplex. You may have come for the racing, but chances are, you weren’t leaving without getting a picture with everyone’s favorite Watusi.

Over the years, thousands of you stopped to say hello, take a photo, and make a memory with him. Now, we need your help showing just how loved he truly was.

📸 If you have a picture with Oliver, please share it in the comments below.

Let’s fill these comments with memories of Oliver and show his parents, Vincent Browning and Shelly Lumpkin, just how many lives their big guy touched.

Rest easy, Oliver. You’ll always be part of the Motorplex family. ❤️
