The conclusion of the 2024 NHRA Drag Racing season might have left fans yearning for more high-speed excitement, but January 2025 offers a remedy with a lineup of televised events that will keep the adrenaline flowing.
The NHRA was established by Wally Parks in 1951 and has become one of the leading motorsport organizations in the world. Known for its exhilarating races featuring categories like Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock, the NHRA continues to engage fans across the nation.
Given its long history, NHRA’s post-season programming acts as an encore that recaps some of the most thrilling moments from the latest season.
Throughout January 2025, NHRA on FOX is providing fans with repeat offerings and special “best of” shows that deliver race content throughout the off-season. Fans can look forward to standout moments being aired on FS2, allowing them to catch races they may have missed.
