Darana Raceway, Hebron, OH, September 7, 2025

The IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series returned to Darana Raceway (formerly National Trail Raceway) in Hebron, Ohio for a high-power weekend showdown—and Shawn Reed Racing made it unforgettable.

After overcoming a serious crash in Seattle just weeks prior, Shawn Reed climbed back into the cockpit and absolutely dominated. In a final showdown against drag racing legend Larry Dixon, Reed blasted down the quarter-mile in a staggering 3.819 seconds at 327.75 mph, securing first place and a spot in the record books with the fastest speed of the weekend.

The Darana Raceway venue—steeped in drag racing history since its 1964 opening—hosted the adrenaline-fueled Outlaw Nitro Series featuring 12,000-horsepower Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars. The event drew top-tier competitors and streamed live on IHRA.TV and Speed Sport 1, heightening the stakes for all involved.

Reflecting on the win, Reed said, "That win was pretty epic for us. We won Bradenton at the beginning of the year, and it’s been a long road...including crashing in Seattle...so it’s a good job to Rob Wendland and the guys to get us down that right lane with a pretty good number too."

This victory—and record speed—marks a powerful comeback for the team. It demonstrates their resilience, technical mastery, and sheer determination to return stronger than ever. Congratulations to Shawn, Rob, and the entire crew for getting the car back to the track.

Seeing you all in the winners’ circle again shows what this team can achieve. Here’s to keeping that momentum rolling all the way to the top!

St. Clair, Missouri, March 21, 2025—Top Fuel racer Shawn Reed and his Reed Trucking & Excavating team are pleased to announce the addition of ATRO Parts as an associate-level sponsor, kicking off a four-race agreement that will see Reed fly the ATRO logo on the side of his 11,000-horsepower machine starting with this weekend’s NHRA Arizona Nationals near Phoenix.

“When you hit the throttle on a nitro-fueled high-horsepower machine, and blast down the track at 330 miles-per-hour in under four seconds, you greatly appreciate the quality, durability, and reliability of the parts in the vehicle underneath you,” said Reed. “Whether it’s in our Top Fuel car or my fleet of Reed Trucking & Excavating heavy-duty vehicles back in Washington, those attributes are not an option, they’re a necessity. We rely on ATRO’s parts to keep things operating smoothly at our ‘day job,’ and we’re proud to now represent them on the race track starting with this weekend’s event at Firebird Motorsports Park.”

“It’s a huge advantage for us to use the ATRO bushings as a one-and-done solution.”

“AIM is the largest privately owned truck leasing company in North America, and within a year, year-and-a-half, we were losing the rubber bushings out of the factory parts; which was a big problem for us.

ATRO came to us with a solution with their polyurethane bushings. The ATRO bushings, they last two, to three, to four times longer than the standard rubber bushing. We put those units in, and then sell ‘em seven years later with the ATRO bushings still in there with the one-time change—that’s what sold us on ATRO.

It means cost savings, labor savings, less downtime on our vehicles...it’s a huge advantage for us to use the ATRO bushings as a one-and-done solution. ATRO parts are easy to install, they are high quality, and they have a great warranty—and ATRO backs their products.

Business relationships are key—not just the product—and in ATRO’s case, the business relationship is just as solid with us as it is with the product that ATRO makes for us. From that perspective, it’s been fantastic.”

We send a special thank you to Chris Disantis, and the team at AIM Transportation Solutions for their help and participation in producing this review!
