On September 16, 2026, reigning two-time NHRA Top Fuel champion Doug Kalitta entered the inaugural Dodge NHRA Great Lakes Nationals, the first of six races in the Countdown to the Championship playoffs, as the top seed with Grand Rapids Mich.-based Applied Innovation featured on his car. Earlier the same day, Jack Beckman and John Force Racing’s PEAK Chevrolet SS Funny Car team entered the 2026 Countdown to the Championship in third place, carrying momentum from their U.S. Nationals win. This followed the September 15 unveiling by Stewart Hagan and Pruett of new TSR Dodge Charger Super Bee Purple Haze-themed liveries for the Dodge NHRA Great Lakes Nationals. Previously, on September 14, Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School announced its return to Frank Hawley's ownership, beginning a new chapter in its more than 40-year history after a brief period under different ownership. On September 10, Shawn Reed Racing parted ways with longtime crew chief Rob Wendland, who played an instrumental role in building the team’s foundation, naming Ryan Elliott as interim crew chief for its NHRA Top Fuel program.
