Maddi Gordon officially began her Top Fuel journey at the 2026 Professional Racers Organization (PRO) preseason test at Gainesville Raceway, making her first runs ever in a nitro dragster.
While elapsed times were secondary, the milestone marked a significant step in Gordon’s progression toward earning her nitro licensing credentials in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series.
The Gainesville test session provided controlled conditions for Gordon to begin adapting to the power and demands of a 300+ mph Top Fuel dragster. Each pass moves her closer to meeting the performance benchmarks required to secure her nitro driving credentials.
Gordon’s transition to Top Fuel has been one of the most anticipated storylines heading into the 2026 season, and the PRO test offered the first glimpse of her behind the wheel of the sport’s premier category.
With the Amalie Oil NHRA Gatornationals set for March 6-8 in Gainesville, her development will remain a focal point as she works toward completing the licensing process.
