49th Annual

Aug. 27-Sept. 1
Indianapolis Raceway Park
Indianapolis Raceway Park, home to drag racing’s richest and most prestigious event, has come a long way since it first hosted the U.S. Nationals in 1961. NHRA acquired the track in 1979 and in 1983 added the four-story Parks Tower, named in honor of NHRA founder Wally Parks. Last year, Tony Schumacher won Top Fuel for the second time in three years, John Force took a holeshot win over Tommy Johnson Jr. for the Funny Car title, Jeg Coughlin Jr. defeated Jim Yates the same way for the Pro Stock title, and Angelle Savoie won in Pro Stock Bike. Don Garlits failed to qualify in Top Fuel at this event for the first time.
