named the Division 1 Track of the Year.
Capitol Raceway has been one of the top drag strips in the country with many legendary names racing
down the track such as Don Garlits, Don Prudhomme, Ronnie Sox, and more. The track was famous for
its "King of Kings" Funny Car events. Funny Cars teams throughout the country would attend the race

facility," IHRA Division 1, 3, and 5 Director Jon O'Neal said. "Jim is a constant in the pit area
during weekends talking to racers and being one on one with his dedicated staff to improve racing
and events. His approach is not always conventional, but he has the willingness to go 'outside the
box' to try and improve the product he offers to racers."
