Gabe Miles Takes on the Fastest Top Dragster Field in PDRA History

This past weekend at the 2025 PDRA East Coast Nationals at GALOT Motorsports Park in Benson, NC, was nothing short of intense, as Gabe Miles competed in what is now officially the fastest Top Dragster field in PDRA history.  

Gabe delivered an impressive qualifying performance to earn his spot in this ultra-competitive field, setting the stage for an exciting first-round matchup against the legendary Dickie Smith. Gabe came out swinging, absolutely crushing it on the tree and hitting his dial-in with precision, showing just how sharp and focused he was.  

But as racing often goes, things don’t always play out as planned. Car trouble struck at the worst possible moment, costing Gabe the win despite his stellar performance. It was a tough break, especially in such a historic field, but Gabe’s determination and grit were on full display throughout the weekend.  

We want to take a moment to thank our incredible sponsors who make all of this possible. A huge shoutout to our title sponsor, The Hemp Doctor, for their incredible support this season. We’re also beyond grateful to Spud, Inc. Straps and Equipment, Air Care Heating & Air, and Sam Reynolds Law Firm for being part of the Miles Custom Racing family. And, of course, a big thank-you to the PDRA for putting together such an amazing series that allows us to compete at this level.  

While this weekend didn’t end in a win, it’s moments like these that fuel our drive to come back stronger. Racing is about more than just results—it’s about the journey, the challenges, and the lessons learned along the way. Gabe and the team are already looking ahead to the next race, and we’re ready to give it everything we’ve got.
