On Wednesday, NHRA and HD Partners Acquisition Corporation (HD Partners) announced a definitive agreement under which HD Partners will acquire all of NHRA's Professional racing assets, including the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series. Upon closing of the transaction, the acquired assets will be held in a wholly-owned subsidiary of HD Partners named NHRA Pro Racing.

The announcement stated that NHRA will retain all its non-professional racing, which includes the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, NHRA Summit Racing Series, NHRA O'Reilly Auto Parts Jr. Drag Racing League, and the AAA Street Legal Drags.

Importantly, NHRA will be the sanctioning body for all NHRA racing activities, including the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series and continue to offer its membership program, publish its weekly publication National DRAGSTER and continue its youth and education programs.

This new relationship ensures, through a long-term agreement, that all the unique attributes of the sport remain intact including Sportsman racing at NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series national events. The initial term of the agreement is 25 years.

Everyone understands that the foundation of our sport is based on Sportsman racing, and NHRA and HD Partners recognize the significance of ensuring that Sportsman racing at NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series events continue.

We encourage the Sportsman racing community to talk to their Division Directors or other NHRA personnel if they have further questions on the announcement. Further, we encourage Sportsman racers to send emails to nhra@nhra.com, and we will be happy to answer your questions.
