GLENDORA, Calif. (May 16, 2017) – NHRA announced a change to the structure in which racers earn points toward a birth in the popular JEGS Allstar program. Beginning with the 2018 JEGS Allstar event, racers will now count their best five in-division events toward their JEGS Allstar point’s total.
Previously a racer would count all in-division events toward their points total but by moving to a racer’s best five events, it will open the program up to more JEGS Allstar hopefuls. The point’s structure will continue to be a 12-month point’s battle in that events in the second part of 2017, along with events at the beginning of 2018 will count towards a racers 2018 points total.
Representing your NHRA home division at the prestigious JEGS Allstars, and having the chance to be crowed a JEGS Allstar Champion is a highlight of any racers career. The annual event is hosted at the NHRA Route 66 Nationals at Route 66 Raceway outside Chicago with a weekend of activities. The JEGS Allstars welcome dinner kicks off the festivities on Friday night, followed by JEGS Allstar Saturday with the driver introductions pre-race ceremony, three rounds of competition and a winner’s circle celebration including the crowning of both team and individual champions.
