Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals @ BIR

The fastest show on Earth returns to Brainerd International Raceway in 2023 for the 41st Annual Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals. The world’s best drag racers will be on display and serving up a steady diet of nitro-fueled drag racing.

Here’s what you get: The world’s best drag racers, the fastest cars, the most insane race fans anywhere and an experience like no other.

Every ticket comes with a pit pass, so fans can watch teams tear down their race cars and rebuild them between races. You can stand within feet of the crews as they crank up the car, sending the smell and burn of nitro fuel into the crowd. You can’t get that anywhere else. Bring a pen and paper because drivers are readily available for autographs.

On the Nitro Alley midway, manufacturers and sponsors create a carnival atmosphere, with interactive displays, simulated competitions, merchandise, food and freebies.
