I remember Simon and I getting very excited some years back about the rise of non-standard strong verbs in English. Here's an old blog post with a recent update.
“Snuck” sneaked in — Stan Carey
It doesn't mention drag-drug! One of my favourites.
I wonder about the influence of German, Dutch, and Yiddish speakers in America, learning English, but being influenced by similar words in their native languages. So tragen-trug giving drag-drug? I don't know about sneak-snuck, but there is a Norwegian verb snike (to sneak) whose past tense is sneik or snek. Wasn't there a lot of Scandinavian influence in the upper Midwest?
On the other hand, Wiktionary says sneak possibly comes from the Old English snīcan (with a long ī), a class I strong verb: snīcan / snāc / snicon / snicen.
