The record included songs such as "The Power of the Vitamins", "This is Not the Time or Place", and "Flight 89". The record also featured the bands first taste of radio airplay when their single "Radio Song" came in at number two on the college radio charts.

They also did an acoustic tour with "The New Amsterdams".The band also released a video of the song "Flight 89", which was directed by Gorman Berchard.

During 2001, Hot Rod Circuit was receiving several offers from different record labels such as Drive-Thru and MCA, that were eager for the band to sign. By the fall of 2001, Hot Rod had signed with Vagrant Records. Hot Rod Circuit's third record, "Sorry About Tomorrow" hit stores on March 12, 2002. The record proved to be their greatest to date, and had garnered the band with the most success out of their whole career. The record was filled with great sing-alongs such as "At Nature's Mercey", "Radiation Suit", "Safely", and more. The band had also released their largest hit, "The Pharmacist". This record had brought the band to a whole new world. In, 2002, Hot Rod had played over 250 shows, and several of them were headlining. The band had toured with bands such as New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, Saves the Day, Superchunk, Hot Water Music, and many more. The band had also taken Dashboard Confessional on one of their first national tours. The band did a music video for the hit, "The Pharmacist" as well. Hot Rod Circuit was at the climax of their career when they did a two week tour in Europe, including the Reading and Leeds Festivals, where over 15,000 people were singing along their music. Singer Andy Jackson states, "This was the first record I can honestly say I wrote and took some time on lyrics and breaking it all down." "Sorry About Tomorrow" launched the band to their highest point in their career's and proves to be most fans' favorite record of theirs. In addition to that Triple Crown Records released a B-Sides record entitled "Been There, Smoked That". The record featured material that was written while under the name "Antidote", and a few songs that were recorded live during their acoustic tour with "The New Amsterdams". After three years of being in the band, drummer Mike Poorman left due to personal issues.

In 2004 Hot Rod Circuit went into the studio to make their follow-up to 2002's "Sorry About Tomorrow". In August of 2004, Hot Rod released "Reality's Coming Through," their second for Vagrant Records. This record proved to get less of a positive reaction as their stellar record "Sorry About Tomorrow." "Reality's Coming Through" had a darker feel to it, much of the music coming from Andy Jackson's real life issues such as a divorce he was going through at the time. The record essentially covered all genre's including the indie opener, "Inhabit." In addition to that a mellow song that resembled somewhat of a 50's rock, "Save You," the poppy, "Cheap Trick," and the pedal steel tinged "The Best You Ever Knew." Andy Jackson stated, "Fans either loved it, or hated it. We didn't want to make "Sorry About Tomorrow" again.

Hot Rod had stated they would be releasing a new record in 2006, but rumor had it that the band's relationship with Vagrant Records had become strained, due to the less commercial success with their last record. For the most part in 2006, Hot Rod Circuit had made no mention of news, or tours, with the exception of about a 6 or 7 shows they did sporadically, on the east coast. Word was out that Vagrant Records had dropped the band, and rumors said that the band had broken up. In addition to that, in the earlier part of the year, Andy Jackson's home burned to the ground, and he and his family lost everything. Bands such as Brand New had done a few shows, to benefit Andy Jackson and his family. In late summer of 2006, the band released a demo song entitled "Stateside". This was the first news about the band in more than 8 months. At an unannounced show in Connecticut in fall of 2006, Hot Rod stated that they had signed with Immortal Records.

The record hit stores on , 2007 via Immortal Records. The record was an attempt to win back some success and fans. In April 2007, Hot Rod hit the road with Limbeck and the Forecast in support of the record. This record would be the logical follow-up to "Sorry About Tomorrow." The new record had that classic "Hot Rod" sound, and had that feel-good summertime vibe to it. The record featured songs such as "Vampire," which included the bands first use of the violin. In addition to that songs that had to do with Andy Jackson's view on life and his response to the tragic fire him and his family went through. The record included songs like "What We Believe In," and the pedal steeled "U.S. Royalty," and their new single, "Stateside". The band went on to play 6 weeks of the 2007 Warped Tour.
