Mac Tools U. S. Nationals

As NHRA celebrates the 54th anniversary of the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals, the world’s most prestigious drag race is set to provide its traditional offering of the very best in speed and high performance for countless thousands of hot rodding enthusiasts. More than 1,000 competitors in 12 different racing categories will perform in front of the standing-room only crowd during the much-anticipated Labor Day classic.

The Super Bowl of drag racing takes place at revered O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis, Aug. 27th through Sept. 1st.

Throughout the years fans at ORP have cheered on drag racing immortals like “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, Shirley Muldowney, Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen, Bob Glidden, Kenny Bernstein and Don “The Snake” Prudhomme as they raced to the winner’s circle at more than 300 mph to etch their names into the NHRA record book.

For many of the competitors, the race has evolved into much more than an annual contest of speed. For those who seek to become a part of its mystique, winning the event has become a must-do to complete any great driver’s resume. Tony Schumacher, Mike Ashley, David Connolly and Craig Treble will all look to repeat as event champions.
