Doug Kalitta Leads 2026 PRO Test at Gainesville

Описание: Doug Kalitta set the early benchmark at the 2026 Professional Racers Organization (PRO) preseason test at Gainesville Raceway, laying down a 3.691-second pass at 315.56 mph to lead Tuesday’s opening session.

Out of 65 total runs on Day One, Kalitta’s Mac Tools Top Fuel dragster was the quickest of the group, pacing a competitive field preparing for the upcoming NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.

Teammate Shawn Langdon joined him in the 3.60s with a 3.699-second run late in the afternoon, making Kalitta Motorsports the only team with two dragsters in the 3.60-second range during the opening day.

The performance comes as Mac Tools and Kalitta Motorsports prepare to celebrate their 25th anniversary partnership in 2026 — one of the longest-running relationships in professional motorsports. The red-and-white Mac Tools Top Fuel dragster will carry special 25th anniversary branding when the season officially opens March 6-8 at the Amalie Oil NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville.

Team officials describe the partnership as one built on loyalty and friendship, crediting Mac Tools as a key contributor to the organization’s long-term success.
