Maddi Gordon Unveils Bold New Livery for 2025 NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car Campaign

As Maddi Gordon prepares for her second season in NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car competition, she’s making a statement both on and off the track. Gordon’s Beta Motorcycles Morro Bay Cabinets TAFC will sport a brand-new red, white, and blue livery, a tribute to the Beta Motorcycles Race Edition bikes. The striking new look will debut at the season opener in Phoenix, AZ as she begins her chase for a championship.

With a full schedule ahead, Gordon is embracing the challenge of stepping into a brand-new car while carrying the coveted No. 2 on her Chevrolet Camaro.

“This season, we have a brand-new car, so I’m sure we will have lots of learning and adjusting to do,” said Gordon. “We’re running enough races to compete for a world championship, and our team is going to put every effort forward to try and obtain that No. 1 in 2025. It seems impossible to set that as a goal for a second-year driver like myself, but we will swing for the stars and see where we land!”

After an impressive rookie season in 2024, Gordon enters 2025 with invaluable experience under her belt. She not only claimed multiple race wins but proved she belongs among the elite in TAFC.

“Feeling more comfortable in the race car is huge for me,” Gordon added. “Last year was a learning curve, but now I know what to expect, and that gives me a lot more confidence heading into this season.”

Gordon’s campaign will once again be backed by longtime Gordon Racing supporters Lucas Oil, Hoosier Tires, NGK, and Sander Engineering. With a championship-winning foundation and a determined mindset, she is ready to take the next step in her career.

Gordon will kick off the 2025 NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series season at Firebird Motorsports Park in Phoenix, AZ February 21-22 for the first West Region race of the year.
