The National Hot Rod Association, popularly known as the NHRA, will return to Sonoma Raceway in July 2025, bringing booming engines and blistering speeds, the track announced last week. Next year will be the 37th annual return of NHRA dragsters capable of reaching speeds of 338 mph while racing down Sonoma Raceway’s quarter-mile drag strip.
The three-day event features Top Fuel dragsters, Funny Cars, Pro Stock cars and Pro Stock motorcycles. It’s a roaring good time for thousands of race fans, who expect their seats to rumble along the straightaway as drivers battle it out for national titles and a chance to drink fine wine out of the Sonoma Raceway signature winner’s wine glass trophy.
“There’s nothing quite like the energy and excitement of NHRA drag racing against the backdrop of beautiful Sonoma,” said Sonoma Raceway executive vice president and general manager Brian Flynn. “This event has become a cherished tradition, and we can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store for our fans and drivers.”
The announcement came weeks before the 2024 DENSHO NHRA Sonoma Nationals, which are scheduled to take place at the raceway from July 26 to 28.
