Small Tire Pro Stock racers will share the stage with Nostalgia Drag Racing League racers for the Nostalgia Drag Racing League Route 66 Rockabilly Reunion, May 22-23, 2026 at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois.
The fabled facility near the famous Gateway Arch will be a fine fit for the fan-favorite and fast cars that have as much character as they do horsepower.
In addition to Small Tire Pro Stock, categories to keep an eye on include the Nostalgia Drag Racing League’s Pro 7.0, Pro 7.5, Pro Comp, Pro Gas, Modified Production, Nostalgia Super Stock, Nostalgia Gassers, Hot Rod Eliminator and Nostalgia Fun Runs.
“With Small Tire Pro Stock and Nostalgia Super Stock racers being from the former NMCA series, there is a shared interest and passion for what we are doing now,” said Doug Duell, a multi-time NMCA Nostalgia Super Stock champion who now serves on the Nostalgia Drag Racing League executive board and will race his 1964 Drag’n Wag’n Plymouth Fury wagon at the event. “That is why we moved quickly when the NMCA went away to make Nostalgia Super Stock part of the Nostalgia Drag Racing League. As a growing series, we were happy to add Small Tire Pro Stock to this event at World Wide Technology Raceway, as well as our upcoming events at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park and Darana Raceway. Small Tire Pro Stock, with its fast cars on small tires, is a good addition.”
Parking for racers will be 3-9 p.m. Thursday, May 21, and there is no testing session scheduled for this day. Then, on Friday, May 22, gates will open at 8 a.m., a test session will be 10 a.m.-2 p.m. followed by two qualifying sessions beginning at 4 p.m. On Saturday, May 23, gates will open at 8 a.m., final qualifying will begin at 10 a.m. and eliminations will follow.
