Yellow Bullet 2026

The 2026 Yellowbullet Nationals was one of the best ones yet! Thursday evening, we had our annual Warriors Race Team pizza party. 13 large pizzas were eaten and for dessert we had a huge Warriors cake prepared by Alyssa, Bud Buck's daughter, and man was it good. We had 43 teams this year to Battle for the $10,000 winner purse and what a battle it was. Craig Walls and his turbocharged SBF Mustang was the #1 qualifier with an E.T. of 4.080 at 183 MPH followed closely by Jason Unch and his turbocharged Chevy truck with an E.T. of 4.086 at 181 MPH. Craig received $500 from Joe Copson, and a custom Warrior spark plug holder made by Steve Reese of EdgeOfSpeed. The #16 qualifier in the A field was Walter Clark's Camaro with an E.T. of 4.495 at 160 MPH. Walter received $100 and a custom spark plug holder from EdgeOfSpeed. Billy Brown driver for Team Dent won $100 courtesy of the Sones Family Lucky Draw when #4 was pulled and he was the #4 qualifier. Also, congratulations to Ralph Hardesty for being picked as the Best Appearing car out of 374 cars! Ralph's car is beautiful! In the B field Joey Algana was the #1 qualifier in his turbo powered Camaro with an E.T. of 4.511 at 161 MPH followed by Donato Sierchio's 4.512 at 162 MPH.
