In Memory of Jim Depasse

The sand drag community has been dealt another big loss with the recent passing of Jim Depasse. Jim has a long history in the sport of sand drag racing dating back to the '70's. He went on to campaign a Top Alcohol Funny Car on the asphalt before heading back to the sand in recent years. Over the past few seasons, Jim has guided the 2-car Pro Mod team with his son Jimmy and Dave Huffman piloting the Jeeps. Jim and Jimmy put their efforts together to set the A/Pro Jeep World Record back in October 2016 with an incredible 2.644 ET. They would also score the 2018 California Sand Drag Challenge Pro Mod class championship. But even greater than those accomplishments for Jim would be seeing the next generation of Depasse hit the track as grandson Cooper has become a top competitor in the Junior classes. Jim always brought a positive influence to the race track and will be greatly missed by all. We send our condolences to the Depasse Family and Friends at this time.

In Memory of Marcus Norris

The sand drag racing community lost a star and great friend with the passing of Top Fuel racer Marcus Norris at the 2019 Season Opener. We pay our respects by posting some great photos of his 10+ years of TF racing. As anyone can attest that has met Marcus, he was a tremendous person and will be greatly missed. We send our condolences to the Norris Family & Crew in this difficult time.

NSDN 2019 Announcement

National Sand Drag News has been the leader of sand drag racing coverage since its inception in 2007, covering well over 100 events at a total of 23 different venues across the United States. It’s been quite a ride, but as they say all good things must come to an end. NSDN is discontinuing at-track coverage & Live Stream for the 2019 season. The website at www.NationalSandDragNews.com will be kept active for Archival purposes, as well as having Event Info & the Classifieds section continuing to be updated through this season. NSDN has always had incredible support from sponsors and racers over the years, but the battle to secure funding for the always rising cost of travel and time away from home/business has become too much to overcome. Thank you to all of the racers, crew, sponsors and partners for the great support over the years.
