Happy 4th of July from NHRA

As America celebrates its 250th birthday this Independence Day, NHRA proudly joins the nation in honoring the spirit that has driven our country forward since 1776. This year also marks another historic milestone as NHRA celebrates its 75th anniversary.

For three-quarters of a century, NHRA has embodied many of the values that define America itself. From humble beginnings on Southern California airstrips and abandoned runways to sold-out national events featuring 12,000-horsepower machines exceeding 340 mph, drag racing has always reflected the ingenuity, craftsmanship, and competitive spirit that make this country unique.

From all of us at NHRA, thank you for being part of our remarkable journey. We wish you and your family a safe, happy, and memorable Independence Day as we celebrate 250 years of American freedom and 75 unforgettable years of NHRA history.
