This is Night Under Fire. 🔥

Last night was one for the books. Year-in and year-out, this is our favorite event that we go to, and this year it was back to our favorite format: a head-to-head matchup with our friendly rivals, Gutierrez Brothers Racing. In the 4 previous matchup we have split them 2-2, and last night was as close as ever with both races being decided by less than 3-hundredths, including a .018-second margin of victory in the final round. It was an AWESOME show and we were proud to be a part of it with JP, Phil, and the whole Gutierrez gang.

We have to give a huge thank you to the whole team at Summit Motorsports Park for all of their efforts to get this event completed in full when Mother Nature tried multiple times to derail the program. No one does it better than the Bader family, and the over 35,000 fans that showed up in the rain are proof of it.

A huge thank you to everyone that has supported us on our journey, and an extra thank you to all of our guys for every minute of their time and effort they dedicate to making our racing program as successful as possible. Having every member of the crew that works on both cars in the house last night was the ultimate reward.

We’ll see you all in a couple weeks when Angelle Sampey is back in action in Brainerd!

Heading home from another great event in Chicago! How about Angelle Sampey and her Hangsterfers car? Through 3 national events in 2026 she has a pair of #1 qualifiers, a #2 qualifier, 5 round wins, and a runner-up finish this weekend. Last year was a steep learning curve with her change to the ex-Top Fuel canopy car, but the full team’s hard work at the track and in the shop is now paying dividends. Angelle returns to action next in two weeks in Maryland.

We are not where we need to be with our Blue Energy Nation car, but we will work hard to get it headed in the right direction before it’s next event at the Norwalk Regional in just over a month.
