ENNIS, Texas - Want to experience a private dinner and concert with the 2021 NHRA Texas Fall Nationals pro champions? Texas Motorplex is hosting a Champions' Dinner on Wednesday, October 12, in their upscale Champions Club for Justin Ashley (Top Fuel), Ron Capps (Funny Car), Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) and Matt Smith (Pro Stock Motorcycle). The event will feature a cocktail hour, plated dinner with entrees and desserts selected by the drivers themselves, individual photo opportunity with the drivers, Q&A hosted by NHRA announcer Joe Castello and post-dinner concert on the lawn behind the luxury suites.

In addition to the previous year's winners all previous NHRA Texas Fall Nationals professional winners were invited to return for the event and more than a few took us up on the invitation. You will be welcomed by a red-carpet entrance with a unique Stampede of Speed backdrop as you make your way into the Champions Club.

Once inside you'll have the chance to have your photo taken with the winners and enjoy a cocktail from the bar before the plated meal is served. During the dinner, which is sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts, each winner will be interviewed by NHRA's Joe Castello, the voice of the Stampede of Speed, from guest submitted questions thanks to American Lube Supply & Royal Purple. The evening will wrap up with a special George Strait tribute band concert presented by Drag Illustrated that will also feature a whiskey tasting and cigar bar. Guests will also receive an exclusive Champions' Dinner gift.
