This weekend, the stakes get wild and wide at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway as the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals roar into town – and Dodge-backed racers are ready to roll the dice.<\/p>\n\n\n

Three-time Funny Car world champ Matt Hagan<\/strong>, fresh off a strong start to the 2024 season, returns to Las Vegas with unfinished business and a fire-breathing Dodge\/\/SRT\u00ae<\/sup> Hellcat Funny Car ready to light up the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVegas is always a wild card,\u201d Hagan said. \u201cFour lanes, one shot, and zero room for mistakes. But that\u2019s the kind of pressure we thrive on. The TSR crew has this Dodge dialed in – we\u2019re coming to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

Alongside him under the Tony Stewart Racing banner is Top Fuel pilot Tony Stewart<\/strong>, bringing his legendary competitive edge to the four-lane fight after a solid rookie season of nitro racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m still learning every pass, but I\u2019ve got an incredible team behind me and we\u2019re making gains,\u201d Stewart said. \u201cThe 4-Wide throws a curveball, but I love the challenge. It\u2019s loud, it\u2019s fast and it\u2019s pure adrenaline.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

Also joining the Dodge-powered lineup this weekend are Ida Zetterstr\u00f6m<\/strong>, the rising European Top Fuel star making her mark in NHRA competition, and Cruz Pedregon<\/strong>, a two-time Funny Car world champion and longtime Mopar\u00ae<\/sub> partner, looking to make a strong Vegas showing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 4-Wide format is a fan favorite and a crew chief\u2019s puzzle – four cars launching side-by-side means more chaos, more strategy and zero margin for error. It’s Vegas, baby. Go big or go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
