NHRA honors

The NHRA Honors program will honor all military members, veterans, first responders, and community heroes, and each will be celebrated throughout the race with a special presentation during the first Pro qualifying session on Saturday of the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals. 

Introduced at last year’s In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals, special event-specific NHRA Challenge Coins will be distributed to service members and first responders and will be available at the Fire Department Coffee display in the midway.

NHRA also urges fans to nominate a deserving service member, veteran, first responder, or community hero as the “Fire Department Coffee Community Hero of the Race.” Nominations can be made online at nhra.com/nhrahonors. 

Those selected will be recognized trackside on Saturday of the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals and presented with a custom award as part of a special presentation for the service member, veteran, first responder, or community hero of the race presented by Fire Department Coffee.

All active military members and veterans will also be acknowledged during the course of the race weekend.

An NHRA Honors T-shirt will also be available for purchase at the NHRA NitroMall, with proceeds going to Veterans Ticket Foundation, a veterans support organization that purchases tickets for active military, veterans, and their families. That special shirt debuted at the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals to close out 2023 and will be updated quarterly during the 2024 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.
