AFTER more than a decade of turmoil, the sport of drag racing is on the cusp of a new era that will see the return of national championship racing for Group One in 2023-2024.
The new National Drag Racing Championship (NDRC) will see 11 Group One events headlined by either Top Fuel or Nitro Funny Car, with both classes appearing at the 2024 Winternationals as the series Grand Final. Group One will also include Top Doorslammer, Pro Alcohol, Pro Stock, Top Fuel Motorcycle, Pro Stock Bike and Pro Mod. All 11 rounds will be streamed live in their entirety on 7plus, with Group One highlights packages running on both 7mate and 7plus.
