NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

NHRA has announced the 2025 season schedule for each of its five specialty classes. 

The Congruity NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series, Flexjet NHRA Factory Stock Showdown, Holley EFI NHRA Factory X, Johnson’s Horsepowered Garage NHRA Mountain Motor Pro Stock, and Pingel NHRA Top Fuel Motorcycle classes will return to the track at several NHRA national events throughout the 2025 season, giving fans a variety of thrilling options at races across the country.

The fan-favorite Congruity NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series will kick off its 10-race season at the NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville before heading to the NHRA Arizona Nationals, returning to Phoenix and Firebird Motorsports Park after a successful debut in 2024. The regular season will continue with races at the four-wide race in Charlotte, Chicago, and Bristol, with the final race before the playoffs taking place in Richmond.

The category’s Road to the Championship playoffs begin at the prestigious Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, continuing to the Charlotte fall race and St. Louis. Finally, NHRA will crown a Pro Mod champion at the fall race in Las Vegas. Can reigning 2024 champion Jordan Lazic go back-to-back, or will a new champion claim the title in 2025? Fans will be treated to fierce competition all season from the drivers of the standout class. 

The ultracompetitive Flexjet NHRA Factory Stock Showdown class crowned Mark Pawuk the world champion last season, as the veteran won his first championship in the category. The factory hot rod class will have eight events during the 2025 season, beginning in Gainesville.

From there, Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown will race at the four-wide event in Charlotte, Chicago, Richmond, and Norwalk, also taking part in the U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis. The season then heads to Reading and Maple Grove Raceway before wrapping up their 2025 campaign at the NHRA Midwest Nationals in St. Louis. 

In 2024, the NHRA Holley EFI Factory X division made its debut as an official class, and racing enthusiasts were thrilled to welcome a new category to the NHRA ranks. The class’s sophomore season will start at the NHRA spring race at zMAX Dragway in Charlotte and continue for an eight-race series. Stops also include Chicago, Richmond, Norwalk, and the U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, as well as Reading and St. Louis.

The category will finish its 2025 season in Dallas for the first time, as a champion will be crowned at the 40th annual Texas NHRA FallNationals at Texas Motorplex. Long-time NHRA racer Greg Stanfield earned the world title this season. 

The Johnson’s Horsepowered Garage Mountain Motor Pro Stock category has long been a fan-favorite category, boasting big speeds, big engines, and popular hood scoops. The class was an official category in 2024, with Johnny Pluchino walking away with the championship.

This season, Johnson’s Horsepowered Garage Mountain Motor Pro Stock will expand to an eight-race season, beginning at the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Charlotte in late April. The year continues in Epping, Bristol, and Norwalk for a busy June, and then will compete at Brainerd International Raceway in August. After a pair of September dates in Reading and the Charlotte fall race, the category will crown its champion in St. Louis as the class continues to grow at an impressive rate.

Finally, the Pingel Top Fuel Motorcycle division is once again set for a four-race season, beginning at the Gerber Collision & Glass Route 66 NHRA Nationals presented by Peak Performance in Chicago and continuing to Richmond, Brainerd, and the Charlotte fall event. World champion and fan-favorite Larry “Spiderman” McBride will again be on track on his record-breaking motorcycle, looking to again go incredible speeds of well more than 200 mph.
