San Diego-based Beal Racing campaigns a 300+ mph, 11,000 horsepower top fuel dragster on the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series. Long known for fielding alcohol and nitro funny cars, the team switched from nitro funny car to the top fuel dragster class in 2019. Beal Racing was founded by Chuck Beal in 1962, and is now operated by Beal’s grandsons, Brandon Welch and Tyson Porlas.
