Dodge Unleashes the Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak with HEMI Power for Ultimate Track Domination

Dodge trims weight and amps up performance with the all-new Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak

#Dodge is making history with a bold move that will electrify the drag racing world. For the first time ever, a race-prepared version of the next-generation Dodge #Charger is joining forces with #SRT race #HEMI power to create the all-new 2026 Dodge Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak by Direct Connection. This machine is more than a car. It is a celebration of speed, innovation, and heritage that will dominate the #NHRA Factory Stock Showdown.

Lightweight Design for Maximum Performance

The Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak introduces a fresh chapter in factory drag racing. Its lightweight body carries the unmistakable street DNA of the next-generation Charger while honoring the iconic styling that enthusiasts love. Dodge engineers have taken performance to the next level by incorporating select carbon fiber components. The result is a race car that is 100 pounds lighter than the previous Challenger Drag Pak. That weight savings translates into quicker launches and faster times down the quarter mile.

Power That Defines Champions

Under the hood sits a championship-proven supercharged 354 cubic inch HEMI V8 engine that is turnkey capable of sub-eight-second elapsed times. This powerplant is a masterpiece of engineering featuring a new GEN III aluminum HEMI block, all-new H beam connecting rods, Diamond aluminum pistons, and a forged steel eight-counterweight crankshaft. A high-performance lightweight billet supercharger belt tensioner completes the package, ensuring maximum efficiency and durability under extreme conditions.

Exclusive Production for True Collectors

Exclusivity adds another layer of excitement. Dodge will produce a serialized run of only 50 units of the Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak. Each car will feature a plaque on the billet supercharger cover that proudly displays its production number. This limited-edition approach makes every Drag Pak a collector’s dream and a guaranteed head turner at the track.

Style That Speaks Volumes

Style is just as important as speed, and Dodge delivers with 18 high-impact exterior color options. Fans can choose from legendary hues such as B5 Blue, Frostbite, Go Mango, Sinamon Stick, Sublime, and Plum Crazy. Optional graphic packages allow racers to personalize their ride and make a bold statement before the lights turn green.

Built by Legends for Champions

The Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak is also the first race car to be produced under the newly reestablished SRT Performance division. This signals a renewed commitment to motorsports excellence and innovation. The build process will take place in Mooresville, North Carolina under the expert craftsmanship of Riley Technologies. Known for its long history of creating championship-winning race cars, Riley brings unmatched experience and precision to every Drag Pak.

Big Rewards for Big Wins

Dodge is adding even more incentive for racers to push the limits. The brand will offer a $26,000 payout for the first NHRA Factory Stock Showdown event win in the all-new Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak as part of the NHRA Contingency program. That is serious motivation for competitors who want to make history and cash in while doing it.

Reservations for the Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak open on October 31, 2025. With only 50 units available, demand will be fierce, and spots will disappear quickly. This is not just a car. It is a revolution in factory drag racing that blends next-generation technology, iconic design, and uncompromising performance. For those who live for the thrill of the quarter mile, the future has arrived, and it wears a Dodge badge.
