The National Hot Rod Association is the world’s largest motorsports sanctioning body.

“There’s nothing like it in all of sports. The speed, the acceleration, the sound, the technology, it is the most unbelievable sensory experience in motorsports. It is like standing next to the launch of the Space Shuttle,” stated Andrew Lieb, President, JRL Group. “For decades the NHRA has been recognized as the premier sanctioning body in motorsports with not only legendary teams and drivers racing down the track, but extremely loyal fans that are passionate about the sport they love. We are very excited about the licensing opportunities and we plan to leverage the NHRA’s rich heritage as well as its best-in-class reputation to deliver high quality products for these loyal fans.”
