The NMRA And NMCA Have Ceased Operations

In a shocking announcement, ProMeda LLC has declared the demise of the NMRA and NMCA. The NMRA and NMCA have been staples in the drag racing world for decades holding events across the country. This is a huge blow to the drag racing world and will impact both racers and facilities.

Here’s ProMedia’s official statement:

ProMedia LLC, home of the NMRA Ford Nationals (since 1999) and NMCA Muscle Car Nationals (since 1988), has made the very difficult decision to cease production of motorsport events beyond 2024. Despite our best efforts, the company could not overcome significant challenges that include losing 4 of our 5 largest pre-Covid revenue-producing events, losing Auto Club Speedway for our NMCA WEST series, declining sponsor and advertising revenues, substantial inflationary price increases and, most recently, the devastating effect Hurricane Helene had on the NMRA World Finals, our company’s largest net profit event.

ProMedia and our entire team sincerely thank our racers and fans for many years of dedicated support and passion for muscle car performance. We appreciate our sponsors for their longterm friendship and loyalty, most especially our series sponsors, Holley and Red Line Oil. Our track partners are the best in the business and we’re proud to call them our friends. Finally, we have been truly blessed having the most dedicated and talented employees and event staff in the business made up of true professionals and wonderful people.

Because we’ll be ceasing operations, ProMedia is unable to attend the PRI Show this December. We extend heartfelt congratulations to all NMRA and NMCA class champions and Top-10 finishers for an outstanding season of competition. Each class champion will be sent a custom package that includes their Nitto Tire Diamond Tree World Champion ring, a World Champion Victor award and a custom-embroidered World Champion jacket. We had hoped to present these items in person at the PRI ceremonies, however, Hurricane Helene proved too fierce an adversary. Please wear your jackets and rings with pride for your amazing accomplishments.
