Dodge has brought a new era of factory drag racing to life with the 2026 Dodge Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak by Direct Connection, a purpose-built race car engineered for serious drag enthusiasts. This limited-production, NHRA-approved race-only machine marks the first time the iconic Charger platform has been transformed into an official Drag Pak — a milestone moment for Dodge performance fans and racers alike.

A Turnkey Race Machine for the Strip

The Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak is designed for grassroots drag racers competing in sanctioned NHRA Sportsman classes. Only 50 examples of this track-only race car will be produced, making it a rare and highly coveted build for dedicated competitors. Fully validated on the dyno and approved by the NHRA, this Drag Pak represents Dodge’s most advanced iteration of factory prepped drag machinery ever.

Under the hood sits a 354-ci HEMI® V8 with forged internals and a Whipple 3.0L twin-screw supercharger, paired with a race-ready Coan Racing 3-speed automatic transmission and specialized suspension, brake, and chassis components built for drag-strip domination. The lightweight carbon-fiber bodywork, race-certified safety cage and high-performance hardware ensure this car is ready to compete at the highest levels of sportsman drag racing.

Race-Focused Components and Options

Every aspect of the Drag Pak has been engineered for performance and durability. Key features include:

• NHRA certified SFI 25.5E chromoly safety cage and chassis upgrades
• Mark Williams 9-inch axle with 4.30:1 final drive and forged axles
• Racepak digital display, Holley EFI Dominator ECU and Smartwire system
• WELD forged aluminum wheels and Mickey Thompson drag radials
• Adjustable drag race-specific suspension

Optional packages include data logging systems, lightweight carbon seats, and driveline upgrades — giving racers the ability to customize their build for even more performance on the track.

Built by Legends for Racers

The Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak will be prepared for customers by Riley Technologies in Mooresville, North Carolina, a builder with a long history of championship-winning race cars. The partnership underscores Dodge’s commitment to excellence and performance in factory drag racing circles.

As Dodge and Direct Connection continue to blaze new trails in drag racing, the 2026 Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak stands as a testament to the brand’s deep performance heritage and passion for competition.
