State Capitol Raceway Becomes the 60th WDRA Member Track

By on January 6, 2025

The World Drag Racing Alliance (WDRA) surges to sixty racetracks heading into its third year of operation with the addition of State Capitol Raceway. The Port Allen, Louisiana, facility has entered into a multi-year sanction agreement with the WDRA, effective immediately.

“We are very grateful to have the support of Lanny Lewis, Gary Carter, and Cody Pollage,” said Frank Kohutek with the WDRA. “Starting 2025 with another vote of confidence from another track joining our family is very rewarding. State Capitol Raceway has been operating for nearly fifty-five years and has hosted major NHRA and IHRA events in the past. The SCR team is doing their part to keep the sport growing in Louisiana, and we look forward to helping their efforts.”

The action is nearly non-stop at the southern site, with events filling State Capitol Raceway’s calendar from January to December. They provide an exciting environment for various racers and fans, including points races, Sunday Funday test-n-tunes, big money bracket races, Import Faceoff, the Southwest Junior Dragster Series, car shows, and more.

Now, the racers of State Capitol Raceway will have the opportunity to receive benefits from nearly a dozen companies that support WDRA members through discounts and benefits. The track will be eligible to reap the exclusive benefits and discounts for WDRA member tracks provided by sixteen different marketing partners.

“WDRA is definitely the choice for true sportsman grassroots racers,” explained State Capitol Raceway General Manager Gary Carter. “Their bracket program is the best out there for the tracks, and they have a lot of benefits to offer the tracks themselves.” Track manager Cody Pollage adds, “We have followed the WDRA the past couple of years, and we really like what they are doing for the racers.”

State Capitol Raceway competitors can participate in the WDRA Summit Sportsman Drag Racing Series presented by SunCoast Performance. The facility can assemble a team to compete at the WDRA Southern Summit Bracket Finals presented by Laris Motorsports Insurance, and its SSDRS champions will qualify for the WDRA Summit World Championships presented by SunCoast Performance, both events taking place at Montgomery International Dragway in the fall.

The racetrack will dive headfirst into being part of The Alliance by hosting a WDRA “Race for The Rod” event at the end of January. Find the race schedule and more information by visiting the SCR website at www.statecapitolraceway.com.
