About This Event

The Winternationals opens the 2027 NHRA season on the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip, the same strip that hosts the last race of the year in November. Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars, the nitro classes, open their championship here at more than 320 mph.

1What to Expect

The event runs Thursday 18 to Sunday 21 February 2027.
Top Fuel and Funny Car, the nitro classes, headline with cars passing 320 mph, and sportsman classes from the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series race in the gaps between pro sessions.
Pro qualifying sets the field, and the 16 quickest cars in each class race eliminations on the last day.

It is the first of 20 national events on the 2027 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series calendar, NHRA's 76th season.
2027 carries a year long 50 Years of Force celebration for John Force, the 16 time Funny Car world champion.
The strip sits at 1,100 feet above sea level.

2Best Way to Experience It

  • Every ticket is a pit pass. Fans can watch crews rebuild the cars from five to 10 feet away, and drivers often sign autographs and pose for photos.
  • The pits are busiest in the first 30 minutes after a car comes back from a run. The Lucas Oil sportsman pits are often quieter for questions and autographs.
