Locke Racing

Racings highs are very high, which makes the lows sting a little more.

Last week we were celebrating a national event win, and last night, Bob’s 2026 U.S. Nationals dreams in Super Gas came to a halt after a round one loss.

It’s a tough one to accept, but there’s a lot of racing left this season! We will be back at it soon chasing the thrill of the win!

Day 1 of the biggest drag race in the world, the Cornwell Tools US Nationals is in the books and Bob made three very solid time runs in preparation for round one tomorrow evening.

Ending the day .006 and 9.901 takes us to Thursday feeling confident on both ends of the racetrack!

The coverage for all of Thursday and most of Friday is free on NHRA.tv and YouTube, and will be available on NHRA.tv after that this week! Check it out and cheer Bob on!

The trip back home from Beech Bend Raceway Park had to wait a day, after Bob took home the second National event victory of his career, and first in Super Street!

Six really tough rounds of racing over 13 hours and Bob turned on the last win light of the day to be a JEGS SportsNationals champion!

He found his groove on the tree and executed the plan for each round to perfection and the win light kept shining. This was a day to remember.

We are blessed to be able to get to enjoy this sport. And all the glory goes to God. Without him, none of this would be possible.

Thanks to our incredible sponsors. Bob was able to put them all in the winners circle on the big stage! That’s 3 wins this year for our team.

Due to some technical difficulties experienced by the track yesterday and the downtime that was a result, we did not get as much racing in as originally planned. Super Street round 1 was moved to this morning and Super Gas got round 1 of eliminations in late last night.

Bob and his opponent left together, but Bob came out on the wrong end of a very close double breakout race. That will end his Super Gas aspirations for the weekend. We’ve still got one left in the fight! Super Street will kick off the morning!

The divisional is behind us and today begins the second half of our stay at Beech Bend. Time runs have kicked off this morning for the JEGS Sportsnationals.

There are two time runs on the schedule today, and one tomorrow. Eliminations are scheduled to begin and run to completion on Sunday.

Both cars are in action again and can be seen on NHRA.tv and YouTube all weekend long!

Day 2 in Bowling Green has come to an end for Bob after a Super Gas round 2 exit and a Super Street round 3 exit.

Some recent changes to the cars are showing really great results and both cars seem happy and easy to dial. It just wasn’t Bob’s day today.

On the bright side though, round 3 was enough to win the Last Man Standing of those who entered in Super Street so Bob is taking a little money home!

Tomorrow begins the JEGS Sportsnationals and two more chances at victory! With 2 time runs scheduled for tomorrow, there’s time to dial in the cars and dial in the tree so Bob is ready for eliminations to begin on Saturday.

Bob turned day one in Bowling Green into a long one and parked the Sullivan Home Loans Camaro in our favorite spot!

After a dead on 10.903 in the second time run, Bob was able to qualify #3 in the DRAW/RFC shootout.

Three great rounds of racing saw multiple division champions in the other lane, but Bob turned on the win light each time with solid passes.

With multiple divisional wins and a national event win to his credit, this was actually Bob’s first DRAW/RFC shootout win!

Eliminations for the Divisional are today, and the event will be ran to completion before we start the national event tomorrow! We’re looking for another late night!
