Tallmadge, Ohio – To kick-off the much-anticipated 2023 Summit Racing NHRA Nationals, the Summit Racing folks welcomed the Team Summit drivers to its Retail Super Store just outside Akron, Ohio for a meet and greet cruise-in. From there, the drivers made the 45 minute trip west to Norwalk, Ohio and Summit Motorsports Park to begin their race prep.
In addition to a parade of classic rides, Team Summit drivers Greg Anderson, Dallas Glenn, Tim Wilkerson, Antron Brown, Clay Millican, Paul Lee, and Mark Pawuk were there, showing off their rides, signing autographs, and chatting with race fans of all ages.
Summit Racing’s ace photographer Jason Liss was on the scene too, and was clicking away throughout the event. We figured you’d enjoy what his lens captured.
