NHRA officials announced today that Mopar and Dodge have been named the title and powered by sponsors of the annual fall race at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n

The 26th annual NHRA Las Vegas Nationals event again serves as the penultimate event of the 20-race season during NHRA\u2019s 75th anniversary campaign. The Mopar NHRA Las Vegas Nationals powered by Dodge takes place Oct. 29-Nov. 1 at the standout facility in Las Vegas and plays a pivotal role in the Countdown to the Championship playoffs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the fifth of six races in NHRA\u2019s postseason, which means plenty of intrigue, excitement and intensity at one of the biggest and most important races on the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NHRA Las Vegas Nationals has always been a standout race for the series, and Mopar and Dodge are proud to help continue the tradition as title and powered\u2011by sponsors,\u201d said Darren Bradshaw, senior vice president of Mopar North America. \u201cThis race embodies the performance standards and competitive spirit that define our brands and we are thrilled to be part of the experience. From the pits to our interactive displays, we\u2019re bringing the kind of presence that reminds everyone why performance is in our DNA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mopar and Dodge continue to be heavily involved in the NHRA ranks, serving as a partner for Tony Stewart Racing and their star Top Fuel and Funny Car drivers, Matt Hagan and Leah Pruett, as well as racing legend Tony Stewart.<\/p>\n

Pruett has impressed in her return to the Top Fuel ranks, while Hagan, the defending event winner in Las Vegas, is a four-time world champion and once again in the title hunt in 2026. Stewart, who won the regular-season championship a year ago, already has one Top Fuel win this season.<\/p>\n

Mopar and Dodge will continue to have a strong presence in the midway at Las Vegas with an interactive fan display.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exciting to have Mopar and Dodge as the sponsors for such a huge race in our Countdown to the Championship,\u201d said Brad Gerber, NHRA vice president and chief development officer. \u201cThis race always plays a huge role in the championship chase and you can feel the energy at the track all weekend. Having amazing brands like Mopar and Dodge sponsor two of our Countdown to the Championship races, including the event at Martin, Michigan, in September, only raises the excitement level and we\u2019re proud to have their support for what will be another incredible event in Vegas.\u201d<\/p>\n
