Records are made to be broken.

And this year didn’t disappoint.

Every March, the performance world turns its attention to one place, TX2K.

What began as a grassroots gathering has evolved into one of the most anticipated roll racing and drag racing events in the United States, where cutting edge engineering meets raw competition, and the line between street car and race car continues to blur.

The 2026 edition delivered on every expectation, and then some.

TX2K continues to prove why it stands as one of the most electrifying roll racing and drag racing events in the country, bringing together the fastest street cars, the biggest names in the scene, and an atmosphere that’s nothing short of chaos in the best way possible. From sunrise test sessions to late night passes under the lights, the energy remained relentless, fueled by teams chasing records and fans eager to witness history unfold in real time.

One of the most talked about storylines of the weekend came from Wasabi Garage, also known as “White Rice,” going head to head with Brett LaSala in a back and forth battle that had everyone glued to the boards. Pass after pass, both teams pushed the limits trading record breaking times and raising the bar with each run. In the end, it was LaSala who edged ahead, laying down an incredible 5.879 second pass at 242 mph. The run not only secured the win but also etched his name into TX2K history, setting a new event record and taking home the $36,000 prize in dominant fashion.

In the Street Car division, fan favorite Cleetus McFarland once again proved why he’s more than just entertainment. Behind the wheel of his Corvette “Ruby,” Cleetus delivered a blistering 7.639 second pass to secure the win. It was a performance defined by consistency, power, and precision qualities that have cemented his reputation as both a showman and a serious competitor. The crowd response said it all, as fans packed the stands to watch one of the sport’s most recognizable personalities deliver when it mattered most.

Beyond the headline runs, TX2K 2026 was packed with standout moments across every discipline. Roll racing once again showcased some of the most intense highway style battles in a controlled environment, while half mile racing gave teams the opportunity to fully unleash the potential of their builds. Speeds climbed to staggering levels, reinforcing TX2K’s reputation as a proving ground for the fastest street based machines in the country.

Equally impressive was the scene off the track. The pits were alive with activity and an ecosystem of innovation where builders, tuners, and drivers worked side by side. From meticulously engineered twin turbo setups to fully built all wheel drive monsters, every corner of the paddock offered something worth studying. Industry leading sponsors and manufacturers were also out in force, further bridging the gap between grassroots culture and professional motorsports.
