Terry Haddock, a former champion, is returning to the IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series nearly 20 years after his last regular appearance, where he won the final championship in 2008 before the series was shelved. His family-run Terry Haddock Racing team will participate in the series’ revival, which kicks off on July 12-13 at National Trail Raceway in Ohio.

Haddock expressed excitement about the comeback of the series, stating it has significantly shaped his racing career. He finally gets the opportunity to defend his title, an honor he never had the chance to fulfill after 2008. Haddock emphasized that his team has worked hard on refining their racing program, ensuring better performance in the Nitro Funny Car.

Alongside Haddock, Dale Creasy Jr. and Jack Wyatt, the only other returning drivers from the 2008 season, will also compete, bringing nostalgia and continuity to the series’ revival. Haddock’s independent operation, known for its perseverance and passion for the sport, has focused on quality racing while being fully funded.

The team is supported by several longtime partners, which has helped stabilize their program. As fans anticipate this blend of nostalgia and new energy in the IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series, Haddock views this season as a long-overdue sequel to his racing journey.
