Randy Meyer Racing Announces New Driver Matt Cummings to Chase 2025 NHRA Championship…..

Randy Meyer Racing has announced that Matt Cummings will join their team as a full-time driver for the 2025 NHRA season. Cummings, who has an impressive background in drag racing, is set to compete in the Top Alcohol Dragster (TAD) category, aiming for both regional and world championships.

Team owner and crew chief Randy Meyer expressed enthusiasm about the new addition, stating, “Matt’s previous experience and dedication make him an excellent addition to our team. We’re excited to work with someone who has already won races in Top Alcohol Dragster as he continues to hone his skills and grow as a competitor. His drive to win aligns with our team’s goals, and we look forward to helping him achieve his championship aspirations.”

 

Cummings’ passion for racing began in his youth, sparked by his father’s purchase of a 1959 Corvette Roadster. Saturdays spent around fast cars and the racing community ignited his lifelong enthusiasm for the sport. Later, as a father, Cummings traveled with his two daughters to divisional events, eventually investing in his first Super Comp Dragster. In 2011, he earned his TAD license from Frank Hawley’s School of Drag Racing and has since driven for two other teams, securing two regional championships and a second-place finish in the 2022 national standings.

All the teams watched and paid attention to Randy’s team. Their professionalism, presentation, and performance on the track aligned with my expectations. The Randy Meyer Racing Team also gives me the best opportunity to move to Top Fuel.” ([dragillustrated.com]())
