FloRacing and Drag Illustrated announced today that two of the most recognizable voices in modern drag racing – Brian Lohnes, the voice of NHRA on FOX, and Kayla Morton, No Prep Kings star and longtime fan favorite – will join the broadcast talent roster for the 2025-26 Drag Illustrated Winter Series presented by J&A Service, further elevating the live streaming experience for one of the most anticipated championship series in doorslammer racing.

FloRacing, the official live streaming partner of the Drag Illustrated Winter Series, will once again deliver wall-to-wall coverage of the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals presented by Motion Raceworks, the U.S. Street Nationals presented by M&M Transmission, and the World Series of Pro Mod. With more than 1,200 live events annually across drag racing, dirt, pavement, and grassroots motorsports – and 24/7 streaming through FloSports apps for Roku, Apple TV, mobile, and web – FloRacing has become a go-to destination for hardcore race fans. The addition of Lohnes and Morton brings new depth and personality to a broadcast team already anchored by Al Tucci, Steve Logan, Drag Illustrated’s Mike Carpenter and FloRacing lead Courtney Enders, with guest appearances planned from industry insiders and veteran drivers throughout the winter.

Morton, who has competed at the highest levels of no-prep and grudge racing, says she’s excited to bring her energy and perspective to the Winter Series coverage.

“I’m super stoked to be working with Flo for the Winter Series,” Morton said. “I hope to bring a vibe to the stream and get to know all these elite drivers along the way. I’m interested in meeting everyone involved in the Pro Mod world and making some new friends, too. I haven’t been to a boards-on race in quite some time, but it sure makes it interesting to watch them light up and know who the baddest one is with zero question. The Winter Series is the biggest happening in Pro Mod, and to be even a small part of it by interviewing and getting to know the drivers is pretty dang cool. I want to shed some light on my friends racing this series and bring a ton of energy to FloRacing.”


Lohnes, widely respected as one of drag racing’s premier storytellers, believes the Winter Series has become a defining force in the sport.

“The DI Winter Series energizes an industry,” Lohnes said. “True drag racers, fans, and enthusiasts have now arrived in an era where ‘no off season’ is an absolute reality. Better than that, it’s three titanic races to keep the whole sport on the chip. Take a race track that has undergone a transformation through 2025, racers who have been competing at the highest levels all year, and fans who are going to climb the fences to get in, and you have the recipe for history-defining events all winter long in Bradenton. The DI Winter Series is a happening unlike any other.”

Lohnes added that the Elite Motorsports Million – a $1,000,000 bonus for any Pro Mod driver who can sweep all three races – adds a new level of drama and performance pressure. “The formula to win the Elite Million Dollar bonus is simple,” Lohnes said. “Be perfect every run, every launch, and every between-round service. Just that easy. Pulling it off would be doorslammer drag racing’s greatest achievement.”

He also noted that the intensity and concentration of talent at Bradenton Motorsports Park harkens back to one of the sport’s most revered eras.

“The gathering of Pro Mod giants at BMP for the DI Winter Series reminds me of another era that people think has passed,” Lohnes said. “They’re dead wrong. Missing its second coming isn’t just a mistake – it’s moronic.”

Drag Illustrated Founder & Editorial Director Wes Buck believes the expanded FloRacing talent team strengthens the viewing experience for fans and provides even greater visibility for the racers who make the Winter Series special.

“Every year the Winter Series gets bigger, deeper, and more competitive,” Buck said. “To have FloRacing invest in an all-star broadcast lineup – bringing in Brian Lohnes, adding the energy of Kayla Morton, and pairing them with Tucci, Logan, Courtney Enders and others – takes this series to a whole new level. This is the stage Pro Mod deserves, and we’re thrilled to have a broadcast team that can match the intensity happening on the racetrack.”

The Drag Illustrated Winter Series presented by J&A Service begins December 5-7, 2025, with the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals at Bradenton Motorsports Park, followed by the U.S. Street Nationals in January and the World Series of Pro Mod in February. Each event will stream live on FloRacing.
