Bryant Goldstone has been a player in the drag-and-drive game for over a decade. 2024 was playing out like a dream for Goldstone leading up to Hot Rod Drag Week, with a trio of major event victories.

Could he keep the 6-second 200+ mph laps coming at Drag Week and earn another title, or would a nightmare Did Not Finish await him at the twentieth running of Hot Rod Drag Week?

Combining the basics of a drag-and-drive event with a final day of eliminations to crown class winners, the Heads Up Hustle returned to Michigan for its second year. Milan Dragway and Mid Michigan host two days of qualifying runs and set an average for the final day, where eliminations are held and class winners are crowned.    

Tom Bailey has tested and raced at Milan Dragway a bunch, and wanted to do more to support a local track. “We want to give back to the sport and the tracks that have created some amazing memories for us.”

The original drag-and-drive, Hot Rod Drag Week, has released the track line-up for their 20th anniversary of the iconic event that will be held Sunday September 15th through Friday September 20th.
