While attending HOT ROD Drag Week at the National Trail Raceway in Hebron throughout September, The Reporting Project journalists Andrew Theophilus and Owen Baker followed the racing team “Running Rust,” a crew of three men from the Toledo, Ohio area.
This is their second year racing in HOT ROD Drag week, which took drivers from the course in Hebron out to the Indianapolis Raceway Park in Indiana and two racetracks in Michigan before returning to National Trail Raceway.
Follow along with Running Rust as they experience trials and tribulations on the racetrack in The Reporting Project’s latest documentary.
