CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Racers Spotlight

Robbie Draughon is our racer to spotlight this week. He is from Fayetteville, NC & has lived there his entire life. He is the owner/operator of Robbie Draughon Powertrain Development, is 42 years old & has been involved of some form of racing for 30 years. His current car is a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette built by him & his dad, known as "Plastic Sunshine" & is powered by a Robbie Draughon Powertrain Development SB2.2 363 CI engine. Some of his notable accomplishments include: 2011 IHRA Division 9 Super Stock Champion, 2019 zMAX DRAGWAY Carolina Nationals Super Stock Winner, 2020 Atlanta Dragway/Gainesville Raceway/Rockingham Dragway Southern Nationals Super Stock Winner, & 2021 Indy Class Winner. Robbie would like to give "Special Thanks" to his wife/crew chief, Tabitha Moore Draughon, his dad, Robert, Ernie Neal, Thomas Cashwell, Kenny Horne, & The Alexander Family. His sponsors are Redline Speed Shop, Robbie Draughon Powertrain Development, Hoosier Racing Tire, & Renegade Race Fuels & Lubricants. Robbie says that his most epic fail is being late on the tree against fellow racer, Brent Pozzi, in the finals of the 2021 NHRA Southeast Division 2 National Open race at GALOT Motorsports Park. This is the race that has "sparked" the friendly rivalry between Robbie & Brent & the one round that Robbie will never live down! Something funny about Robbie is that he can recite the entire movie Days of Thunder word for word. Robbie finished in the 4th place for the 2021 CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Points Series & is hoping to better that finish this season.

Robbie is one of those guys that his fellow racers come to him in a time of need whether it be parts, welding, advice, &/or jokes. He pretty much has a rolling garage in his racecar trailer. He jokes that he could build a racecar with all he carries in the trailer but really he isn't lying. Be sure to stop by & tell him HI when you see him at the next race.
