THIRD STRAIGHT SATURDAY SELLOUT CROWD AT FIREBIRD MOTORSPORTS PARK FOR 40TH ANNUAL NHRA ARIZONA NATIONALS
PHOENIX (March 21, 2025) – For the third straight year, NHRA and officials at Firebird Motorsports Park announced a sellout crowd for Saturday qualifying at the NHRA Arizona Nationals.
The huge fanbase in the Phoenix area continued to pack the historic facility, which is celebrating its 40th year of the NHRA Arizona Nationals in 2025. On Saturday, the overflow crowd enjoyed qualifying action and the Mission #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge at the second of 20 races during the NHRA Mission Drag Racing Series season.
After signing a long-term extension with NHRA in the off-season, Firebird Motorsports Park also invested in a new track surface, showcasing the bright future ahead at the standout facility as they celebrated a sellout crowd on Saturday.
“In a year that saw a seven-figure investment from the Gila River Indian Community for new asphalt on the dragstrip and signing a multi-year extension with the NHRA to continue to host a national event, there could be no better payoff than selling out our 40th annual Arizona Nationals,” Firebird Motorsports Park Track Manager Casey Buckman said. “I cannot say thank you enough to the fans, sponsors, team and staff that have continued to support Firebird throughout the years.
“I am beyond excited to see what we can do together in the future.”
It is the first sellout crowd of the 2025 NHRA season.
Eliminations for the 40th annual NHRA Arizona Nationals begin at 11 a.m. MT on Sunday at Firebird Motorsports Park.
