Dodge Unveils Super Bee and Purple Haze NHRA Race Cars

Dodge and Tony Stewart Racing are bringing new Super Bee and Purple Haze designs to NHRA drag racing as the series returns to Michigan for the first national event there in 66 years.

The event takes place September 18–20 at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park in Martin, Michigan. It will mark the first NHRA national event in the state in 66 years, giving Dodge an ideal setting to showcase its newest performance themes.

Team owner Tony Stewart joined Pruett and Hagan at the Chrysler Technology Center in Auburn Hills to reveal the new graphics ahead of the race.

Two TSR Dodge Cars Get a New Look

Pruett’s Top Fuel dragster and Hagan’s Funny Car will both carry the updated Dodge designs. The liveries combine the legendary Super Bee identity with the new Purple Haze exterior color developed for the 2027 Dodge Charger.

The combination is especially fitting for a brand that has spent decades building its identity around high-performance cars and bold visual designs.

Leah Pruett’s TSR Dodge Top Fuel dragster will carry the new Super Bee-themed livery at the Dodge NHRA Great Lakes Nationals.

Each machine produces around 12,000 horsepower, creating an unmistakable connection between Dodge’s production performance cars and its NHRA racing program.

For Pruett, the Michigan event also represents an opportunity to add another victory to her growing Top Fuel record.

Matt Hagan Brings Purple Haze to Funny Car

Matt Hagan will race the new Purple Haze-themed TSR Dodge Funny Car. The four-time NHRA Funny Car champion enters the event as the 2026 regular-season champion and is now competing for another title during the six-race Countdown.

Hagan has already collected 58 career NHRA victories, all in the Funny Car category and all behind the wheel of a Dodge.

Matt Hagan’s TSR Dodge Funny Car receives a Purple Haze-inspired design ahead of the NHRA’s return to Michigan.

The new graphics give Hagan another distinctive Dodge identity for the championship stretch. He has already won three NHRA events in 2026 at Pomona, Bristol and Brainerd.

Hagan will now attempt to put the Super Bee logo in victory lane at one of the most significant races on this year’s NHRA calendar.

The 2027 Charger Super Bee Will Be on Display

The race weekend will also give fans their first opportunity to see the 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition in person at the Manufacturers Midway.

The production model produces 600 horsepower from its SIXPACK powertrain, making it the most powerful Super Bee yet.

Dodge introduced the model earlier this summer at Roadkill Nights, where it was presented as the quickest, fastest and most powerful SIXPACK-powered Charger.

The 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition will be displayed at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park during the NHRA weekend.

The new Purple Haze paint is also available to customers ordering the 2027 Charger. The limited-run color costs $795 and uses a high-gloss finish that changes its appearance depending on the lighting, becoming brighter in direct sunlight and deeper in the shade.

Dodge and NHRA Take the “Tour de Michigan” to the Track

Dodge is also turning the event into a broader enthusiast celebration with its NHRA Dodge “Tour de Michigan” cruise on September 17.

Owners of Dodge vehicles and performance cars from any brand can join the drive from Auburn Hills to Martin. The suggested route includes a stop in Hell, Michigan, before continuing toward U.S. 131 Motorsports Park.

The cruise gives enthusiasts an opportunity to arrive at the race together while celebrating Michigan’s deeply rooted performance-car culture.

A Big Weekend for Dodge and Tony Stewart Racing

The Dodge Super Bee NHRA liveries bring together two sides of the brand’s performance identity. On one side are Pruett and Hagan’s 12,000-horsepower race cars, while on the other is the new 600-horsepower Charger Super Bee that represents Dodge’s latest street-performance technology.

The timing could hardly be better. NHRA is returning to Michigan for the first national event in 66 years, and Dodge is using the occasion to put its newest performance branding directly in front of racing fans.

For Tony Stewart Racing, the goal is even simpler: turn the new Super Bee and Purple Haze colors into trophies when the NHRA action begins at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park.
