🔥 My Personal Mount Rushmore of Drag Racing Legends

Alright — since y’all were so fired up about my Top Fuel ops list, figured I’d go big picture. Here’s who’s on my personal drag racing Mount Rushmore (not just Top Fuel, all-time, all classes): 1️⃣ John Force No question. 16x Funny Car champ, larger-than-life personality, basically carried the sport on his back through lean years. 2️⃣ Don “The Snake” Prudhomme Transcended NHRA into pop culture. Legendary match races, crazy rivalries with The Mongoose — without him we might not even have the same sport today. 3️⃣ Big Daddy Don Garlits The innovator. Changed the game forever with the rear-engine dragster. Every car on the grid owes him. 4️⃣ Shirley Muldowney Paved the way for every female driver — not just in drag racing, but in motorsports. Took hell from old-school guys and STILL won three Top Fuel titles. Yeah, I left off a million deserving names (Bernstein, WJ, Coughlin, Kalitta Sr.), but that’s what makes these debates fun. Who’s your four? #NHRA #DragRacing #Legends #MountRushmore #History
