NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

The sport of drag racing isn’t just shaped by those who win or lose, or what e.t. or speed they ran. That’s ancient history. The level of competition has gotten so high and complex that strategy, logistics, partnerships, goals, and audience all participate in a modern win. 

And in an era when more people see more drag racing every day — strike that, every hour — than ever before, some of the people shaping the sport do so when they aren’t even behind the wheel of a drag car. Who are these people? What are they trying to accomplish, and what are they looking to change about the sport we all love? 

The NHRA has enjoyed amazing growth over the last decade thanks in part to individuals and organizations who promote, support, and enjoy the sport and continue to move it forward. 

In the inaugural compilation of NHRA’s Movers, Shakers, and Deal Makers, NHRA National Dragster recognizes the contributions of many of those most recently responsible for the growing success of the sport.
