Read on Drag Illustrated (opens in a new tab)Home team
Hartman Racing is a father-and-son team from Canfield, Ohio. Lee Hartman has raced the Factory Stock Showdown since 2020, and in 2026 his son Matthew joined him on the starting line.
2021 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak
A self-described Mopar guy, Lee owns several vintage HEMI-powered Dodge and Plymouth muscle cars. His Challenger Drag Pak left the factory in TorRed, and he had it redone to stand out from the rest of the field.
In 2026 he lowered the class E.T. record three times in three weeks and won his first NHRA national event with a 7.511, the quickest pass in Factory Stock Showdown history. He closed the season runner-up in Dallas and fourth in the championship.
Chevrolet COPO Camaro
Matthew ran his rookie Factory Stock Showdown season in 2026 in a COPO Camaro the team took over when Anthony Troyer wound down his operation.
At 16 he was his dad's crew chief at Lee's first race in Indianapolis in 2020. Six years later, they race side by side. He won his opening round at each of his first two NHRA races, reached the semifinals at Bristol and finished ninth in points.
October 3, 2026
Six years after his first Factory Stock Showdown race, Lee Hartman won the rain-delayed Great Lakes Nationals final in St. Louis. His 7.511 was the quickest pass in the history of the class, and the third time he'd lowered the record in three weeks.
