Jim “Tazz” Hines will return to the mic and co-announce the 68^th Annual O’Reilly Auto Parts World Series of Drag Racing, Friday and Saturday, August 26 & 27 at Cordova Dragway, Cordova, IL.

Hines was a fixture at the Cordova Dragway Park from the 1990’s through 2014 when the track was sold to a corporate entity. In 2022, Cordova Dragway was purchased by local couple Dan and Shelly Crownhart and Hines accepted their invitation to return behind the mic at the World Series of Drag Racing.

“This is a bucket list item of sorts for me as I have no plans to be back to Cordova Dragway on a regular basis, said Hines. However, I’ve known the Crownharts and their family for decades and felt an obligation and responsibility to accept their invitation to present the best World Series of Drag Racing the area has seen in eight years” he continued.

Hines will provide the color commentary alongside veteran announcer David Ratten who announced at the recent Summer Nationals event at Cordova Dragway.

The O’Reilly Auto Parts World Series of Drag Racing is the oldest drag racing in Country celebrating the 68^th addition in 2022. For more information go to https://cordovadragwaypark.com/world-series/
