Team RevZilla / Motul / Vance & Hines Suzuki Starts 2026 With Gainesville Win

The 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series opened this past weekend at the Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway, and Team RevZilla / Motul / Vance & Hines Suzuki delivered a strong opening statement to begin the season.

Reigning Pro Stock Motorcycle champion Richard Gadson continued the momentum from last season, riding the Vance & Hines prepared Suzuki Gen 3 Hayabusa to victory in the season opening event. Gadson powered through a competitive field on race day to capture the Gatornationals win and begin his title defense in dominant fashion.

Teammate Gaige Herrera also delivered a strong performance throughout the weekend aboard the second Suzuki entry, advancing through the field and continuing to demonstrate the strength and consistency of the Vance & Hines Motorsports Pro Stock Motorcycle program.

With the victory, Gadson leaves Gainesville leading the Pro Stock Motorcycle championship standings, setting the tone for the remainder of the NHRA season.

The team now turns its focus to the next round of competition as the championship battle continues.
