2025 NHRA NORWALK FEATURES GETTRX PRO STOCK CALLOUT

STAGE SET FOR SUMMIT RACING EQUIPMENT NHRA NATIONALS, WHICH FEATURES GETTRX PRO STOCK NHRA ALL-STAR CALLOUT

NORWALK, Ohio (June 11, 2025) – As the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season heats up, teams are thrilled to head to Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park, one of the most popular stops on the NHRA circuit, for the 19th annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals on June 26-29.

One of the premier races on the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series tour, the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals has long been a must-see event for drag racing fans. The state-of-the-art facility at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park provides the perfect stage for heart-pounding competition, capped off by the legendary Friday night fireworks show following pro qualifying.

A highlight for every racer at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals is the billet aluminum ice cream scoop, which goes to the winners of the race along with the traditional NHRA Wally trophy.

“The Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals is going to be outstanding, out of this world and off the charts,” said Bill Bader, Summit Motorsports Park President. “Summit Motorsports Park and NHRA are working very closely together to ensure this event will excite on every level and will appeal to all ages. There will be action and activities around every corner, whether fans choose to be in the stands or in the pit area. This is a can’t-miss offering.”

This year’s event promises even more excitement, as the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals plays host to the GETTRX Pro Stock NHRA All-Star Callout for the first time. This specialty event will feature eight Pro Stock drivers battling for top honors, including reigning six-time champion Greg Anderson, in a bonus race that features a big purse and a unique callout format. Anderson will have his pick of the eight-car field made up of Dallas Glenn, Matt Hartford, standout Aaron Stanfield, multi-time champions Erica Enders and Jeg Coughlin, Eric Latino and Troy Coughlin Jr.

“In addition to favorite classes like Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle and others, we are proud that our stop on the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series tour features the GETTRX Pro Stock NHRA All-Star Callout,” Bader said. “The Callout absolutely adds to the adrenaline, with eight drivers giving it everything they have to win prizes and pick up points toward a championship, and our guests will have a front row seat for it.”

Add in nitro at night on Friday, the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge on Saturday and eliminations on Sunday at the picturesque facility and it’s an action-packed weekend with non-stop excitement.

The 2024 event saw Antron Brown (Top Fuel), Bob Tasca III (Funny Car), Aaron Stanfield (Pro Stock), and Gaige Herrera (Pro Stock Motorcycle) emerge victorious, solidifying their places as top contenders heading into the 2025 season. Meanwhile, Doug Kalitta, Austin Prock, Anderson and Richard Gadson claimed wins in the Mission #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge.

Brown secured his second Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals win last season when he defeated Doug Kalitta. Brown currently sits third in the Top Fuel points thanks to his win at the season opener in Gainesville. Leading the points is motorsports legend and 2024 NHRA Rookie of the Year Tony Stewart. Shawn Langdon is second, while other stars include Brittany Force, Justin Ashley and Clay Millican.

Tasca scooped up his second Norwalk win over Ron Capps at last year’s race. This season’s Funny Car field continues to be led by reigning champion Prock and his John Force Racing teammate Jack Beckman. Others to watch in the class will be four-time champion Matt Hagan, Phoenix winner Paul Lee, who is second in points, and Gainesville winner Chad Green.

Pro Stock standout Stanfield took home his first win from Summit Motorsports Park last year, but this season has been dominated by Anderson and Glenn. Anderson has four wins and the points lead, while Glenn has three victories in what has been an impressive season by the KB Titan Racing teammates.

Two-time reigning Pro Stock Motorcycle champ Herrera took the win last year over his rival Matt Smith. Herrera continues to lead the field, while others to look for at Norwalk will be Gadson, who won in Bristol, Angie Smith, Jianna Evaristo and Chase Van Sant.

Also on the track will be the standouts in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, NHRA Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown, NHRA Holley EFI Factory X and Johnson’s Horsepowered Garage NHRA Mountain Motor Pro Stock.

All weekend, fans will be invited to the Nitro Alley Stage, which is the main entertainment hub in the pits. The stage hosts Nitro School, meet and greets, autograph sessions and more. Norwalk race fans can enjoy the special pre-race ceremonies that introduce each driver and includes the fan favorite SealMaster Track Walk. Fans are also invited to congratulate the winners at the winner’s circle celebration on Sunday.
