Dodge has made a significant entrance into the drag racing arena with the unveiling of the 2026 Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak, its first-ever factory-built drag racing car, limited to just 50 units. This vehicle marks the Charger’s debut in NHRA Factory Stock Showdown competition and showcases a powerful 354 cubic-inch HEMI V8 engine, known for holding sub-7.60-second world records.

Weighing 100 pounds less than its Challenger counterpart, the Charger Drag Pak employs advanced weight-reduction techniques, including carbon-fiber components. Its design features Fratzog-inspired wheels, a cutting-edge 10-foot parachute mount, and a full NHRA-certified roll cage. Inside, it stays true to the Charger’s design while being stripped down for racing effectiveness, adorned with racing seats and harnesses.

To celebrate its launch, Dodge offers a record-setting $26,000 bounty for the first win in the Factory Stock Showdown with this new model. With the oversight of Dodge’s Street and Racing Technology (SRT) division, the Hustle Stuff Drag Pak symbolizes the brand’s commitment to drag racing.

The engineering details further enhance its performance, featuring a Whipple supercharger, a lightweight transmission, and advanced suspension. Optional packages allow for customization, including color choices and performance upgrades. The Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak stands as a tribute to Dodge’s rich muscle car legacy while introducing cutting-edge technology designed for modern racing.
