Event Preview: DISL and DIGP Round One

The 2026 Drift Indy Grand Prix and Drift Indy Street League rosters are stacked with some of the best talent in the midwest and beyond. After a killer 2025 season that saw the inaugural DIGP season take the formula to the next level and new competitors stake their claim in the DISL rankings, this year promises to be even more competitive and even more stylish.

The DIGP roster features the return of plenty of familiar faces, including inaugural champ Roy Outcalt, alongside a number of rookies. Justin Bailey, Matt Berlin, Ty Gondek, Miles Harrelson, Justin Keith and Jeremiah Reyes are all experienced DISL drivers that will be bringing their talents to the big leagues this season. They’re joined by Blake Doege, Danny Domenech, Brendon Greaves and Brock Steele, all of whom are proven shredders making their debut in our comp format. The infusion of talent from both young drivers who have come up in the DISL ecosystem and older vets promises to make this second season of DIGP even more exciting than the first.

The DISL approved drivers list includes 120 competitors this season, with 43 season pass holders committed to driving all three rounds. The interest shown and dedication of drivers to get their cars to the impressive level we ask for is a real testament to the culture we’ve tried to foster among our community of drivers. A DISL banner has come to be a mark of pride not just at our events, but around the country, and they show that a driver has both the skill and the style to throw down with the best of them.

2025 DISL champ Paul Tuttle is returning, along with runner-up Rodney Blankenship. Their battle for the top spot last season came down to a nail-biter of a final round, and while Tuttle hasn’t committed to drive Round One, he’ll be one to watch at any round he does come out for. Those two are joined by a host of other talented drivers, both young and old, newcomers and series vets, that promise to produce yet another killer season.

Both series kick off May 15-16 at Round One, being held at good ol’ Darana Raceway in Xenia, OH. We’ve got two killer rosters of drivers ready to prove, once again, that you can have both killer driving and killer style.
