Matt Hagan is a tough NHRA Funny Car driver with the nickname ‘Hulk Hagan’ who works on a farm and races at over 300 miles per hour. During an NHRA event at Texas Motorplex, Hagan’s tough guy image was momentarily overshadowed when he was hilariously distracted by a cricket while NHRA announcer Joe Castello was speaking. The Champion’s Dinner, similar to the Masters in golf, is a special event that brings together previous NHRA champions, fans, and industry members for an evening of entertainment and bonding. Attendees enjoy a unique experience of mingling with their favorite drivers, enjoying a specially curated menu, and participating in post-dinner activities. The event provides a platform for fans to interact with drivers and industry professionals in a more personal setting, adding a special touch to the usual competition-focused atmosphere of drag racing. Overall, the Champion’s Dinner celebrates the personal side of drag racing and fosters lasting connections between fans, drivers, and the sport itself.
