The DFW Car & Toy Museum has recently added a significant piece of American motorsport history to its collection: the 1993 NHRA Top Fuel Dragster driven by Kenny Bernstein, known as the ‘King of Speed.’ This dragster, notable for its Budweiser King livery, represents a milestone in drag racing, showcasing the era’s technological advancements and the fearless spirit of its driver.
Bernstein’s achievements in the NHRA are unparalleled, including being the first driver to exceed 300 mph in a standing-start quarter-mile in 1992. His records continued to climb, with speeds reaching 314.46 mph in 1994 and 332.18 mph in 1996. The dragster now displayed at the museum is believed to have been completed in December 1993 and certified for the 1994 season, embodying the peak of Bernstein’s racing career.
Ron Sturgeon, the museum’s founder, expressed his excitement about the addition, stating, ‘This car is more than a race machine—it’s a rocket with wheels and a legacy.’ The inclusion of Bernstein’s dragster not only honors his contributions to motorsports but also serves as an inspiration for future generations of racers and enthusiasts.
