Herbst Clinches The Championship! Williams and Hofmann Score Big Wins
The 2025 Funny Car Chaos Championship Finals rocked historic Great Lakes Dragaway in a two day festival of floppers that would decide who would hoist the Championship trophy on Saturday night! A three way contention was led by Keith Zimmerer coming into the weekend but Brian Lewis and Justin Herbst were hot on his heels as each and every round of qualifying and eliminations would prove pivotal in the quest for the top of the standings.
After three rounds of qualifying, Keith Zimmerer and Justin Herbst both led their respective fields and maximized their points earning opportunity during qualifying. This put them tied headed into eliminations. Brian Lewis' hopes faded early with a tough first round loss, while Zimmerer and Herbst marched round by round into the finals of the 'A' and 'C' Fields.
In the Wulff Pumps 'C' Field, Herbst came to the line in a big match with Jordan Ballew. Ballew's team hopped it up for the last dance of the season and unfortunately ran into engine problems near the finish line, opening the window for Herbst to pull ahead and take the win at the stripe in a critical round for his title hopes.
The AlkyDigger 'B' Field welcomed Wayne Hofmann and rookie Luke Furr to the starting line and Hofmann used a holeshot to score his first win of the season, a welcome result after a trouble filled year for Hofmann. Furr looked strong in only his second CHAOS race of his career and will be a contender moving forward.
The final round of the final race of the season. Zimmerer versus Williams. The heaviest hitters on the property, ready to drop the hammer for all the marbles. They ripped off the line side by side with almost identical reaction times. Wide open and charging hard the cars neared the stripe and Zimmerer fell behind and watched Williams take the stripe, clinching the 2025 Championship for Herbst!
What an intense finish to an exciting season of Funny Car Chaos action! Congratulations to all of our Top 10 finishers and to Justin Herbst and team "Executioner" on an impressive Championship effort!
Zimmerer, Cook & Chatfield Make the Most of Mo-Kan!
As the Funny Car Chaos competitors piled into historic Mo-Kan Dragway for the 60th Annaul running of the Ozark Crane Services Labor Day Weekend Classic presented by Fleet Fuels LLC, the atmosphere was electric and anticipation was mounting. A heated points battle is brewing in CHAOS land and this event would prove pivotal to those in the hunt to become a Champion.
With pending final rounds still to be contested from a rain delayed Byron event, Brian Lewis and Justin Herbst led the standings coming into Mo-Kan. Herbst added to that total with a win in his postponed final over Neil Girot, which was run during qualifying at Mo-Kan. A first round loss for Herbst in the Mo-Kan event itself, then opened the door for the competition to make a move. Lewis then took a surprising semi-final round loss on a holeshot to Kirk Williams. Meanwhile, top qualifier Keith Zimmerer was clicking off win lights and found himself in the final round of the Rodak's Custom Coffee 'A' Field to face Williams.
Avid CHAOS fans will recall, at this event last season, Kirk Williams red lit his way out of the Championship chase in a huge first round bout with eventual Champion Shayne Lawson. Williams now lined up with top qualifier Zimmerer and again, the red light lit up at the flash of amber. Just after leaving the line, Zimmerer's car spit the blower belt off, but the red light told the story as Zimmerer claimed victory and more of those precious points with the win for team "Penny Pincher" at Mo-Kan.
AlkyDigger 'B' Field action found Jade Cook and Justin Malott ready for the final rounds as Cook came in the favorite on paper and with a number of Mo-Kan Dragway FCC event wins already in her trophy case. Cook was off the line first and never trailed as her 4.07 at 172 mph held of Malott's 4.19 at 168 mph. Congratulations to team "Nemesis" on a big win and another Mo-Kan FCC trophy to add to her collection.
The Wulff Pumps 'C' Field welcomed team "Booze Brothers" and driver Cody Chatfield to the line ready to take on Chance Biffle, teammate to Jade Cook. A blown head gasket unfortunately sidelined the "Bad Intentions" team, which gave Chatfield the competition bye run in the final. Chatfield and company lived in the 4.20's all weekend and celebrated their first CHAOS event win at Mo-Kan in style.
The 2025 Funny Car Chaos Championship will come down to an extremely exciting event as the CHAOS makes its debut at historic Great Lakes Dragaway on September 26-27th. Do yourself a favor and make your plans...to BE THERE!
The Funny Car Chaos and DMP Awnings Nitro Chaos series are very excited to announce it will be offering free in-house live streaming productions of all of its events for the remainder of the 2025 season and beyond. The CHAOS concept of ‘run whatcha’ brung’ drag racing was first introduced by Texas based series owners Chris & Tera Graves in 2017 and since then has blossomed into one of the largest independent drag racing brands in the world.
Over two hundred different funny car teams have participated in Funny Car Chaos and the support of the newly formed DMP Awnings Nitro Chaos series has welcomed over fifty different outlaw nitro participants since 2023. The CHAOS movement is undeniable and has also led to the addition of Fuel Altered Chaos, a new single event to be held November 14-15th at Tucson Dragway, open to any altered of any kind. With a focus on fun and affordability for both racers and spectators, the future looks strong for the CHAOS brand and an in-house live stream production is just one of the many steps forward to help continue and grow the brand.
Lee Craft (aka Monday Morning Racer) will lead the production team with official CHAOS videographer James Armstrong. Both Craft and Armstrong have been with CHAOS for many years and are geared up to bring the CHAOS live to the entire globe. Exclusive interviews, between round pit area angles and more are just a part of the package team CHAOS will deliver in its event streams.
“Through the years we’ve done lots of live streaming. We were actually the first ‘competitive’ drag racing event post-Covid and offered pay-per-view at that time to fund the purse for the racers at that event, which was pretty wild. CHAOS has done a lot of firsts over the years which has helped the brand grow and we are finally at a point where we can produce our own live streams in-house, the way we want to do it. It’s a very exciting benefit to offer our racers, fans and marketing partners who have helped build the CHAOS into what it is today,” says Chris Graves.
All events moving forward will be free to stream on the CHAOS YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@FunnyCarChaos as well as the series Facebook pages. The first steam will be airing this weekend as the Funny Car Chaos series makes its first ever appearance at Illinois’ Byron Dragway.
Lewis, Minick and Loveall Score at Cordova Dragway Summer Nationals
The CHAOS blew through the gates of historic Cordova Dragway for the Twisted Shifterz Summer Nationals in June 13-14th. A fleet of over 32 outlaw funny cars from across the country packed the pits for two days of ground pounding action which also included a non-stop lineup of gassers, nostalgia pro stockers and super stockers, outlaw pro mods, fire breathing jets and more! The weekend was full of awesome racing, great weather and was capped off with three first time CHAOS winners celebrating in the winners circle.
After three wild sessions of qualifying the fields were set and they were tight. Close and competitive racing in eliminations was imminent and that is just what the capacity crowd got when it came time to play for keeps. The Rodak's Custom Coffee 'A' Field delivered big numbers on the scoreboard through first and second round with many cars in the low 3.70s at 200 plus mile per hour. Keith Zimmerer's "Penny Pincher 2" tuned by Will Hanna and CHAOS rookie Brian Lewis and team "Grumpy 2" found themselves in the waterbox ready to flex their muscle for the event win in a Texas -vs- Oklahoma showdown. Lewis clicked off a his best pass of the event when it mattered most as his 3.69 narrowly defeated Zimmerer's 3.72 at the stripe. Lewis and company were consistent, quick and put together a string of impressive runs to score their first Funny Car Chaos event win in only their third event with the series.
In the AlkyDigger 'B' Field, competition was equally tough and some close racing dwindled down to a truly chaotic pair. Bobby Martin was making his series debut in his Pennsylvania based 'Supercharger' after a long hiatus from driving a funny car, his last win being the 2009 U.S. Nationals in TA/FC competition. Alongside was none other than the world famous "Chi-Town Hustler" with Mike Minick behind the wheel looking to defend home turf at Cordova and claim his first series win. The cars left the line together and were charging hard, when Martin's entry made a wild move across the centerline. Minick had an up close and personal view, wisely shutting off as the cars came close to making contact, but thankfully they did not as Minick and company celebrated their first Funny Car Chaos event win.
Wulff Pumps 'C' Field racing came down to Lee Loveall driving Rodger Eckhardt's Oklahoma based "Giant Killer" set to take on Dana Klienhoffer's "Tremor" machine from Illinois. Loveall was fired up for this one and took a large starting line advantage, coupling that with a 4.24 at 167 to Klienhoffer's close 4.25 at 167 mph.
Three first time winners, white knuckle ground pounding outlaw funny car action, fantastic weather and a capacity crowd all combined for a spectacualar weekend at the Twisted Shifterz Summer Nationals at Cordova Dragway. The next stop on the 2025 Funny Car Chaos tour will bring the series south to Tulsa Raceway Park for the rain delayed series debut in Oklahoma, June 27-28th. We'll see you...at the CHAOS!
Zimmerer, Malott and Herbst Claim Victory at Chaos in the Cornfield
The 2025 Funny Car Chaos Championship tour rolled into Iowa on May 23-25th to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Eddyville Raceway Park at the 2nd Annual Twisted Shiferz and 360-Steel CHAOS in the Cornfield presented by Stanke Motorsports. This event is a special three day, double feature show also headlined by the DMP Awnings Nitro Chaos series. Twenty five outlaw funny cars strutted their stuff over Memorial Day weekend and Sunday's eliminations saw some wild racing from the FCC competitors in their quest for points, bragging rights and their share of the $33,000+ guaranteed purse.
In Wulff Pumps 'C' Field action, Justin Herbst and team "Executioner" found themselves in their second straight final round up against first time finalist and friendly rival Danny Mann in the "Pony Up" entry. After full eighth mile side by side burnouts, Herbst took the starting line advantage and never trailed with his best pass of the weekend, a 4.36 at 161 mph to Mann's 4.73 at 148 mph. Herbst is now sitting second in the current FCC points standings with his back to back final round appearances.
Two additional first time finalists came to the line in the AlkyDigger 'B' Field as Justin Malott's High Risk Performance tuned "Must Be Nice" entry prepared to face Lee Loveall in the "Giant Killer" Nova. Malott blasted off the line with the reaction time advantage and shortly after Loveall had problems and was forced to lift, giving him the best seat in the house to watch Malott and company take their first career FCC event win with a 4.19 at 180 mph. Malott's Ken Singleton tuned entry used consistency to claim their win with a 4.18, 4.19 and 4.19 in eliminations.
A powerhouse match-up of screwn blown alcohol burners came to life in the final round of the Rodak's Custom Coffee 'A' Field as the Will Hanna tuned "Penny Pincher 2.0" entry of Keith Zimmerer prepared for battle against defending series Champion Shayne Lawson and team "Man O' War" also tuned by Ken Singleton. Lawson took a slight starting line advantage and the cars were wide open and side by side at half-track. Towards the top end Zimmerer was making a move while the "Man O' War" machine made a steady drift to the centerline and collected the cones as Zimmerer took the win with a 3.71 at 203 mph.
Shayne Lawson will take a one point lead over Justin Herbst into the next points event, Cordova Dragway's Twisted Shifterz Summer Nationals, to be held June 13-14th in Illinois. We'll see you...at the CHAOS!
Lawson, Irwin, Cook & Simpson Take Texas Motorplex Victories
FINALLY the 2025 Funny Car Chaos Championship tour was able to kick off at the 5th Annual Spell Paving Services Funny Car Chaos Classic at the Texas Motorplex, presented by Vertex Roofers. Weather postponed the original date but that didn't stop the CHAOS teams from showing up in full force as the pits filled quickly with outlaw funny cars of all kinds from across the country for their shot at the first win of the new season. A massive thirty two car qualified field took the track under ideal weather conditions in Texas and the battle for round wins was on in the A-B-C-D fields of competition.
Pair by pair and round by round the upsets continued and excitement built leading into the final rounds. Todd Simpson was the first winner of the night in the Texas Motorplex 'D' Field as he wheeled Mitch King's "Bone Shaker" to the win with a 3.94 at 196 over Justin Herbst. Jade Cook and team "Nemesis" clinched the Wulff Pumps 'C' Field win at the starting line when Tony Arcuri went -.018 red and Cook's 4.08 at 173 mph took the win.
AlkyDigger 'B' Field action welcomed a thrilling pair as first time finalist Mike Irwin laid down an impressive 3.80 at 185 mph in the "Strange Behavior" nitro funny car to narrowly defeat Dave Hill's 3.91 at 186 mph. In the Rodak's Custom Coffee 'A' Field first time CHAOS participant Brian Lewis was forced to shutoff with a fuel leak which gave defending Funny Car Chaos series Champion Shayne Lawson a solo shot and his 3.75 at 199 mph would have been tough to beat as the Ken Singleton tuned "Man O' War" locked in their first win of the 2025 season.
Congratulations to all the winners of the season opener and we now set our eyes on the next stop on the Funny Car Chaos tour on May 23-25th in a three day CHAOS double down at Eddyville Raceway Park. Make your plans to join us at the Twisted Shifters & 360-Steel CHAOS IN THE CORNFIELD presented by Stanke Motorsports! We'll see you...at the CHAOS!
