Event Info
NHRA’s version of a weeklong campout is a popular stop due to the race's recreational opportunities. Racegoers are known for enjoying the camaraderie of trolling the huge on-site campground, “the Zoo”. A 700-foot concrete launchpad also helps boost performances at the second-to-last event at which teams can secure positions for the Countdown to the Championship.
As always, fans will have the opportunity to interact with their favorite drivers, as Every Ticket's a Pit Pass® at the most powerful and sensory-filled motorsports attraction on the planet! Get direct access to the teams, see firsthand as the highly-skilled mechanics service their hot rods between rounds, and get autographs from your favorite NHRA drivers.
