NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Now that the dust has settled and the Christmas gifts have been opened, we thought it a good time to pore over the figures, the facts, and the interesting occurrences of 2024 one last time.

All season long, we've brought you the best behind-the-scenes moments at the top end as our winners celebrated their victories, and we've compiled the best of the best to help wrap up the year.

We’re in that sweet spot of the year, that golden window of giving and receiving among friends and family, so we decided to come up with a list of gifts that we already got over the course of the 2024 season. There’s not a lump of coal in the bunch. 

Join us for a full day of live-streamed interviews on the NHRA on FOX Stage, featuring an all-star lineup of hosts and guests.

In July 2017, Robert Hight ran 339.87 in his Funny Car, and there were several other 339- and 338-mph speeds, but it took more than seven years for the class to top 340 mph. Why? And which of those two seasons knocked our socks off speed-wise?

We teased you, we told you, we reminded you, and still some of you refused to believe that the 2024 Silly Season would live up to the hype. As we’re still reasonably early into it, it’s already brought some fireworks to the sport and the eggnog is barely cold. 

The NHRA Wally Parks Motorsports Museum teamed up with the California Highway Patrol Baldwin Park Division for the 2024 Twilight Cruise Night and Toy Drive.

The Ford Performance NHRA Nationals is always a pivotal event in the schedule, and even though it’s the 19th race of the year, we’re still learning things. Here’s our five big takeaways from the race.

The name of motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel became synonymous with Las Vegas after his spectacular jump over the fountains at Caesar’s Palace in 1967, and the Knievel name is back on the front page at the Ford Performance NHRA Nationals where the Clay Millican-driven Rick Ware Racing Top Fueler is bannering the Knievel name.

The NHRA Countdown to the Championship playoffs haven’t gone the way Funny Car’s Bob Tasca III had hoped, but the longtime Ford driver would certainly add a major high note to close out the season with a chance to sweep both races in Las Vegas this year.
