Nationwide — Something powerful is happening in Gainesville, Florida, this April and it goes far beyond the roar of engines and the thrill of competition. From April 10–12, the Manufacturers Cup Drag Racing Series will take over the city, bringing together the fastest motorcycles in the nation, elite riders, and thousands of fans for one of the most electrifying racing events in the country. The event will be held at the Gainesville Raceway, home of the NHRA Gatornationals. But this isn’t just about speed—it’s about ownership, representation, and rewriting what leadership in motorsports looks like.
At the center of it all is Broderick “Hollywood” Jackson, a visionary entrepreneur and one of the few African Americans in the country leading a national professional drag racing series. Not only is Jackson the driving force behind the Manufacturers Cup, but he is also producing and controlling his own live broadcast platform—an unprecedented level of ownership in a space where Black leadership has historically been underrepresented.
Jackson’s presence in motorsports represents more than personal success—it symbolizes a shift. In an industry where African Americans have often been participants but rarely decision-makers, his leadership stands as a powerful example of what is possible when talent, vision, and ownership come together. His work is opening doors, creating opportunities, and inspiring a new generation of Black entrepreneurs, racers, and creators to see themselves not just in the race—but in control of it.
The event itself promises a full-throttle experience. Fans can expect high-stakes competition, record-breaking speeds, and a festival-like atmosphere that brings together racing enthusiasts from across the country. Whether you’re arriving in an RV, camping out for the weekend, or attending for a single day, the Manufacturers Cup offers an immersive experience that blends adrenaline, community, and culture.
Beyond the track, the event carries deeper meaning for the Black community. It highlights the importance of building and owning platforms, supporting Black-led ventures, and expanding representation in industries where it has long been limited. It’s a reminder that excellence isn’t confined to traditional spaces—and that innovation and leadership can thrive anywhere.
For those who can’t attend in person, the experience won’t be out of reach. Thanks to Jackson’s forward-thinking approach, the entire event will be broadcast live worldwide through RaceManCup.com, allowing viewers from around the globe to witness the action, energy, and impact in real time.
This is more than a race.
This is about legacy.
This is about breaking barriers and building something real—from the ground up.
As Broderick “Hollywood” Jackson continues to expand his influence and elevate the sport, one thing is clear: this is just the beginning.
