NHRA feted two first-time Mission Foods Drag Racing Series champions and a pair of repeat titleholders, one day after the season was called on account of rain.
NHRA feted two first-time Mission Foods Drag Racing Series champions and a pair of repeat titleholders, one day after the season was called on account of rain.
The forecast didn’t look good at the start of last week and it progressed to dire as the NHRA Championship weekend got rained out.
NHRA is closing out its 74th Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season on its ancestral dragstrip in Pomona the weekend of November 13-16. The 60th annual In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals takes place at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip and will crown champions in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle.
As expected, the 25th Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals presented by Direct Connection provided a preview of the drama that will occur when the 2025 Mission Foods Drag Racing Series completes its 74th season a week from now.
All four Mission Foods Drag Racing Series categories are in play as the tension builds and racers vie for a 2025 world championship in straight-line racing.
With five rounds of qualifying and special events, followed by four rounds of racing on the actual Labor Day holiday, the U.S. Nationals are always the biggest straight-line race in the United States – and perhaps the world.
While everyone will be thinking about momentum and going rounds in Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock Motorcycle – it’s inevitable minds will race back 12 months to a monumental change in the direction of Funny Car.
Third-generation drag racer, Richard Gadson, has been working towards his first Pro Stock Motorcycle victory for years.
All of the NHRA racers were shaken following John Force’s accident, but the show went on.
