| “We’re just as excited for our fans, too, longtime supporters and first-timers alike, to experience the energy and family atmosphere that define NHRA racing. The response from our racers has been incredible, and we look forward to building the future of drag racing in South Texas as part of the NHRA family. As NHRA celebrates 75 years and EMP celebrates 10, we couldn’t think of a better way to mark this milestone than bringing NHRA racing back to Edinburg. Joining NHRA feels like coming home, and we’re excited to give our racers and fans an even bigger stage for years to come.”
By joining the NHRA Member Track Network, Edinburg Motorsports Park is eligible to offer racers in the area a variety of NHRA-sanctioned racing opportunities when the facility opens, including the NHRA Summit Racing Series presented by Hoosier, the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League, NHRA Street Legal, NHRA Jr. Street and more. Additionally, the track will have the chance to host NHRA specialty events like the NHRA Summit King of the Track and more.
The facility will also get access to NHRA’s extensive support programs as part of the member track network, insurance benefits and national marketing platforms.
The facility is also in an area that continues to see growth when it comes to racer participation and fan turnout, showcasing a strong future outlook for Edinburg Motorsports Park and its partnership with NHRA.
“Bringing Edinburg Motorsports Park into the NHRA Member Track family is another important step in continuing to grow the South Central Division,” NHRA Division 4 Director Jonathan Johnson said. “The Rio Grande Valley has a strong racing community and having an NHRA Member Track serving that area gives us an opportunity to provide those racers with a pathway into our Summit Racing Series, Jr. Drag Racing League and the many other programs available through NHRA. We are excited about what Albert and his team are building and even more excited about what we can build together.”
