IHRA NITRO JAM DRAG RACING SERIES PLANS TEN RACES IN 2025

There’s already an expansion before they’ve even hit the track for the first event.

The rejuvenated International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) announced a significant expansion of the Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series during halftime of Saturday’s NFL game featuring the Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos. The series will return with a 10-race schedule in 2025, marking the first events in a decade. Previous announcements had indicated the series would do a soft opening in 2025 with a three-race schedule.

That appears to be a thing of the past as IHRA has revealed fans can expect to see several iconic classes, including Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Mod, and Mountain Motor Pro Stock at all 2025 Nitro Jam events. Additional professional classes at select events will include 500-inch Pro Stock, Nitro Harley, Top Fuel Motorcycle, and Pro Stock Motorcycle.

A detailed breakdown of class locations will be included in the upcoming schedule release. Sportsman classes featured at every IHRA Nitro Jam event in 2025 will include Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, Quick Rod, Super Rod, Hot Rod, Super Stock, and Stock.

IHRA content will be broadcast on Speed Sport 1, reaching over 200 million consumers on mainstream platforms. It will also be available to 300 million users on major mobile platforms and streaming services at www.speedsport1.com.

“This is another incredible step in the #IHRAReturnToGlory,” IHRA President Kenny Nowling said. “Thanks to our new parent company, Cuttell Motorsports LLC as well as several current IHRA marketing partners and those who will be announced in the coming months, we will be taking the IHRA to unprecedented heights.”

Without a doubt, NHRA has to be paying attention!
Don't know what that means going forward, I'm just a spectator at this point.
No track up the street anymore.☹

If there is only two passes to qualify, that's a significant saving at IHRA.
Nitro is not cheap nor tires,oil,cluth discs, pistons, rods,,etc...

You better not miss, and pray for no breakage!!!

All the green reminds me, do you know why NHRA tracks were predominantly red and white?
Hint: They got the paint for free.
Maybe common knowledge but trivia nonetheless.

I'm guessing green is his companies color.
Or he really likes Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc.

Interesting that there is no elevator for HC access. Atco had to add one when they put a new tower in.

I downloaded the Speed Sport App to my TV but couldn't get it to work. YouTube feed works fine on my TV.
I'm watching it delayed. I'm not exactly sure why, but I think Pro Mod is the most interesting to watch. Lots of upsets there today.

The track does look short for 1000' or ¼ mile.
Looks like a nice facility though.

That new 300' definitely helps.
The map shows it shorter than they claim, but I race shorter and we have P/M's able to stop running the full 1/4 mile.

Everything this Guy buys looks amazing.
If it doesn't he sure makes it nice before anyone see's it.

I'm still hoping he buys my little track, memphis, Atco and maybe even PBIR and really puts the IHRA in a stronger situation then they ever were!!!

I just finished watching Rt 42. Long night, lol. Played a poker tournament. I won!

I enjoyed the broadcast as well as the others I watched.
Nobody is a stuffed shirt in the live stream. All the commentators and reporters do a good job. Don't have to listen to sponsor after sponsor. Do you think nhra would let disco dean call his caddy "The Pink Penetrator " ?

Definitely need more asses in the seats though.

Atco used to be ihra and had a nationals there. I remember having a good time. Spoke with Don Gartlis, Doug Herbert and others easy.
Pro Mod was in the early years. Low 7s and high 6s. Good times!

Here's a video if you have time to kill.

I might be in there somewhere!

Highly disappointed the fans still aren't coming out.

It's a damn shame the people aren't appreciating Mr. Cuttell's efforts more.
The show has been pretty damn good.
The fuel cars could be better, but the rest have been absolutely top quality racing!!!

Adding those fuel altereds was an excellent idea.
Showing Mr. Cuttell isn't afraid to spend money for building a better show.

Let's hope the alcohol guys will start gaining cars and some better quality fuel cars will make the fans get out to the track!!!

The P/M's are getting better every week, and with three classes, that will continue to grow.
