The NHRA U.S. Nationals is held annually over Labor Day Weekend at the Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park (IRP). This year, IRP is celebrating the 71st anniversary of the event from August 27 though September 1. As a weekend packed with fun, excitement, and racing, here are the pieces of must know information before attending the event.
Tickets
As always, fans in attendance are given the exclusive opportunity to interact with their favorite drivers, as every ticket serves as a Pit Pass to one of the most sensory-filled motorsport attractions. Fans gain direct access to teams, see firsthand the highly-skilled mechanics servicing their hot rods between rounds, and can get autographs from all their favorite NHRA drivers.
Tickets can be purchased in a 6-Day Full Event Package or separately by the day. To streamline ticketing for everyone who purchases, fans will now receive their tickets by email only. At the time of purchase, fans can choose to print their tickets at home and bring in a paper ticket to the track or use their e-ticket that was delivered by mobile for entry.
First Responder and Military Discounts can be applied to tickets.
