INDIANAPOLIS, IN – April 10, 2023 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Another thrilling season of racing in the NHRA Summit Racing Series, the world’s largest motorsports program when it comes to racer participation, is set to take place in 2023, as drivers will again compete for their chance to race for an NHRA Summit Racing Series National Championship in Las Vegas.
More than 75,000 drivers compete at NHRA member tracks across North America in the Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, Motorcycle, and Street Legal EV categories, racing for event wins, divisional titles, and, ultimately, the chance to race for national glory on the “Road to Vegas.” They will race for championships in each of the seven NHRA divisions during September and October, with the winners advancing to the NHRA Summit Racing Series National Championship, which takes place Oct. 26-29 as part of the NHRA national event at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
