NHRA Finalizes 22-Race Calendar

GLENDORA, Calif. – NHRA officials have announced the 2022 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series schedule, which will include 22 national events throughout the course of the season. 

Details on Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle schedules will be announced in the upcoming weeks.

The schedule features the return of events such as the NHRA Arizona Nationals in Phoenix, the Virginia NHRA Nationals in Richmond and the Flav-R-Pac NHRA Northwest Nationals in Seattle, which will serve as the traditional conclusion of the annual Western Swing.

The season kicks off in Pomona for the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals Presented By ProtectTheHarvest.com. For the first time in four seasons, the NHRA will host a specialty race amongst the stars of the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series nitro categories. Fans will be treated to not one but two NHRA Allstar Shootout events in 2022, at the AMALIE Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals and the prestigious Dodge//SRT NHRA U.S. Nationals over Labor Day weekend. Then, teams will focus in on the NHRA Countdown to the Championship playoffs and set their sights on an NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series world title.

“Next season will see 22 national events from the NHRA Camping World series,” said NHRA President Glen Cromwell. “We look forward to bringing our loyal NHRA fans a season packed full of thrilling racing action.”
