IN-N-OUT BURGER POMONA DRAGSTRIP TO HOST NHRA LUCAS OIL DRAG RACING SERIES EVENT IN 2026 AS PART OF 75TH ANNIVERSARY\n

Special race will be just the second time in 50-plus years iconic track has played host to LODRS event<\/p>\n

POMONA, Calif. (March 29, 2025) \u2013 In celebration of NHRA\u2019s upcoming 75th anniversary in 2026, officials at In-N-Out Burger and NHRA announced the scheduling of a special Division 7 Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event on March 12-15, 2026, at historic In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip.<\/p>\n

The event, which will be the first time that a Lucas Oil Series event has been held at the legendary track since 2002 and just the second time in more than 50 years, will be billed as the Snyder Family\u2019s Salute to NHRA\u2019s standout Sportsman racers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sportsman racers have been wanting and begging for a divisional race in Pomona for a very long time, so I think I can say \u2013 on behalf of all Sportsman competitors \u2013 this is a dream come true,\u201d said In-N-Out Burger Owner and President Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson, who also races in the Top Sportsman ranks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no doubt the 2026 race will have a high entry attendance and fill up quickly. It is an honor to have my family\u2019s name and legacy associated with it, as In-N-Out Burger and cars have always gone together like burgers and fries. My hope is this divisional race further fuels the passion for drag racing among both racers and loyal NHRA fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
The Snyder family that owns In-N-Out Burger has been involved in NHRA Drag Racing for decades, dating back to company founder Harry Snyder\u2019s part-ownership of iconic Southern California dragstrip Irwindale Raceway and continuing with his son Guy\u2019s participation as a racer.\n

Snyder-Ellingson, granddaughter of the founder, competes in NHRA\u2019s Top Sportsman class and will participate in a Pomona event expected to draw hundreds of the region\u2019s best Sportsman racers.<\/p>\n

“Having a Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip is absolutely incredible,\u201d Division 7 Director Matt DeYoung said. \u201cOur racers and division crew love this track and the amazing history it holds. The tremendous support of NHRA drag racing from the Snyder family has always been strong, but taking this additional step with a great race like this for the Sportsman racers during our 75th anniversary celebration isn\u2019t taken lightly.”<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n
The exciting announcement of the special event took place Saturday before the third round of qualifying during the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip. Snyder-Ellingson also received a trophy from Phil Burgess, editor of the NHRA\u2019s National Dragster magazine, celebrating the facility\u2019s selection as \u201cTrack of the Year\u201d in last year\u2019s fan voting for the National Dragster All-Star Team.\n

Since In-N-Out Burger became the title sponsor of the iconic Southern California track \u2013 as well as the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals to close out the season \u2013 to close out 2022, the track has undergone a number of major upgrades and improvements as it continues to celebrate a rich history that includes more than 70 years of racing.<\/p>\n

“I want to congratulate Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson and the local NHRA team for the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip being awarded Track of the Year. Fairplex is proud to be home of this legendary speedway,” said Walter Marquez, President & CEO of Fairplex. “And we are thrilled to see a third event coming to Pomona in 2026, with the Snyder Family\u2019s Salute to NHRA\u2019s standout Sportsman racers. It\u2019s a great way to celebrate the track\u2019s 65th year of racing as well as NHRA\u2019s 75th anniversary.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Pomona Dragstrip is an iconic track with a long record of legacy moments in drag racing history,\u201d Snyder-Ellingson said. \u201cDrag racing has deep roots in both Southern California and In-N-Out Burger. For seven years starting in 1965, my grandfather Harry was a part-owner of the original Irwindale Raceway. To once again have the In-N-Out name associated with racing in Pomona and have the track recognized as the 2024 National Dragster All-Star Team \u2018Track of the Year\u2019 is beyond special to my family and me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Further details regarding the next year\u2019s Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event in Pomona \u2013 as well as the NHRA\u2019s year-long 75th anniversary celebration in 2026 \u2013 will be announced in the coming months.
