On February 9, 2024, at the Pro Superstar Shootout in Bradenton Motorsports Park, Bob Tasca III, behind the wheel of the PPG Mustang Dark Horse Nitro Funny Car, smashed all previous drag racing speed records by hitting an incredible 341.68 mph in just 3.840 seconds!

This not only breaks the previous record held by Robert Hight (339.87 mph in 2017) but also sets a new high-water mark for speed and performance in the world of wheel-driven drag racing.

Led by co-crew chiefs Todd Okuhara and Aaron Brooks, the Tasca Racing team has once again demonstrated their dedication to excellence and innovation.

Bob Tasca III stated, "Today's record is the result of years of passion, teamwork, and the relentless chase for speed. This achievement belongs to every member of Tasca Racing, our partners at PPG, and Ford Performance. Their support and Ford's aerodynamic and engineering expertise were crucial in breaking the 340 mph barrier, a dream I've always had."

The Pro Superstar Shootout, making its debut at Bradenton Motorsports Park, provided the perfect venue for this groundbreaking feat.
