LAMKIN SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS LAUNCHES ‘NITRO’ A HIGH-PERFORMANCE DATA PLATFORM BUILT TO TRANSFORM RACE DAY STRATEGY
By: Werner Communications
DENVER (March 16, 2026) — Lamkin Software Solutions (LSS) today announced the launch of Nitro, a powerful new data platform designed to give racers, crew chiefs and teams a decisive edge on race day. Built specifically for the high-pressure environment of drag racing, Nitro centralizes race data, track information and performance insights into a single secure platform, helping teams make faster, smarter decisions when it matters most.
Nitro is an all-in-one, low-latency data hub where every run, driver and key metric can be stored and analyzed. The platform allows teams to upload run data, annotate it with customizable fields and instantly search through thousands of entries to uncover performance patterns and strategic insights.
“Crew chiefs collect massive amounts of information, but too often it’s scattered across paper logbooks, notebooks and spreadsheets,” said Aidan Lamkin, founder of Lamkin Software Solutions. “Nitro brings everything together in one place so teams can focus on what matters: going quicker and making smarter decisions at the track.”
With Nitro, teams can store and analyze:
- Reaction times, ETs, speeds and splits
- Weather and track-condition data
- Custom fields such as new parts, tuning adjustments or vehicle modifications
- Historical performance records across drivers, tracks and events
Advanced search and filtering tools allow teams to query thousands of runs in seconds, turning raw information into actionable insights that can help predict dial-ins, optimize setups and refine race strategy.
“Every crew chief has experienced the frustration of flipping through notebooks or digging through old spreadsheets trying to find that one run from months ago,” said Lamkin. “Nitro solves that problem. It’s built so your entire team can access the information they need instantly and confidently.”
Nitro also features built-in security and unlimited data storage, ensuring that teams maintain full ownership and privacy of their logs while continuing to expand their data library over time.
Lamkin began developing Nitro in July 2024, working closely with racers, crew chiefs and teams to design a platform tailored to the real-world needs of the drag racing community.
“From day one, the goal was simple: make race day easier for the people who live it every weekend,” said Lamkin. “We listened to the teams, understood their workflows and built Nitro around the way they actually operate.”
Lamkin Software Solutions is also the company behind the popular drag racing game Drag Race Bracket Bonanza (DRBB), which has gained a massive following among drag racing fans. The free game allows fans to fill out a bracket for NHRA national events and pick who they think will win on race day. It was through DRBB that Aidan saw the data potential of a platform like Nitro.
Industry veteran Elon Werner praised the launch and Lamkin’s commitment to the racing community.
“Aidan does not have a motorsports background, so when I hired him to build DRBB, he approached it with a strong software engineering focus,” said Werner. “Since DRBB debuted in September 2023, Aidan has really grown to love the sport and saw the opportunity of how his experience with data could really revolutionize it. He’s taken the time to do the research and listen to crew chiefs and teams, to builds tools that solve real problems. Nitro has the potential to change the way teams manage and use their data at the track.”
With centralized data management, powerful search capabilities, live weather and track-condition integration and full encryption for sensitive information, Nitro is designed to make race day smoother, smarter and faster than ever.
