Virginia NHRA Nationals
RACING BEGINS IN…
WHAT TO EXPECT
The world’s greatest drag racers light up the world’s premier drag racing facility with the smoothest and flattest racing surface on the planet and the first dragstrip to be illuminated with LED lighting! See the stars like John Force, Tony Stewart, Antron Brown, Brittney Force and more take to the track on the 2024 National Hot Rod Association tour.
Every ticket is a pit pass and your all-access pass to the epicenter of the drivers and teams as they prep these 10,000-horsepower nitro burning machines! Feel the rumble beneath your feet, smell the nitro and prepare to be blown away by the sheer acceleration of these machines blasting down the concrete at over 300 miles per hour.
Three days of racing await, and you can experience one of them or get the entire experience with a weekend pass!
FRIDAY NIGHT – JUNE 21
When the sun drops behind the trees and the Musco Lighting comes alive, the scoreboards will light up with unbelievable elapsed times and speeds! Sportsman qualifying kicks off at 8:00 AM while the Summit JDRL Shootout gets under way at 1:30 PM. At 5:00 PM, the world’s wildest doorslammers take center stage with round one of Pro Mod qualifying. Drivers will be looking to lay down big numbers to achieve qualifying points, hopeful number one qualifier honors and possible track records. When the sun drops and the lights come on, get ready for a one of a kind experience that you will only see at VMP!
SATURDAY SHOWDOWN – JUNE 22
The action and excitement heat up on Saturday as the flame-filled nitro qualifying gets going and both sportsman and professional qualifying continue. The thrills will rev up even higher when the #2Fast2Tasty Challenges for Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock Motorcycle take center stage, and the best sportsman racers from across the country begin their elimination rounds as the tough get tougher with every win light that illuminates on their side of the racetrack.
CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY – JUNE 23
On Sunday, arrive early to take part in the Sealmaster Track Walk at 11:00 AM and get to feel the surface where the racers will converge on shortly after opening ceremonies. Professional categories open the day after a stunning rendition of the National Anthem and the sound of 10,000 horsepower Top Fuel dragsters thunder out from under the Virginia Motorsports Park tunnel at 12:00 PM. Who will take their place in the Winner’s Circle and power through fifteen other entries? Fans are welcome to come down to the racing surface again after the event to take part as the coveted Wally trophies are raised closing out the third running of the Virginia NHRA Nationals here at Virginia Motorsports Park in North Dinwiddie, Virginia.
