CORDOVA, Ill. (Oct. 21, 2026) – NHRA officials are excited to announce that historic Cordova Dragway has joined the NHRA Member Track Network as part of the West Central Division (Division 5).
The legendary facility will also host two NHRA events in 2027, expanding the racing opportunities for sportsman competitors in the Midwest. With more than seven decades of drag racing history, Cordova Dragway is also home to the O’Reilly World Series of Drag Racing, America’s oldest and longest-running drag racing event.
Joining the NHRA Member Track Network builds on that impressive tradition, offering additional programs for local racers and events to attract fans and competitors from across the country.
Cordova Dragway’s 2027 schedule will include an NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series regional event as part of the inaugural Sportsman Grand Nationals, along with an NHRA Summit Racing Equipment E.T. Finals presented by Hoosier event, providing ample opportunities for racers to compete at the legendary facility.
“It is hard to contain the excitement about hosting the nation’s best sportsman racers,” said Dan Crownhart, owner of Cordova Dragway. “Everyone on our team, racers and fans, is excited for the opportunity to show the drag racing world what Cordova has to offer. The only problem with this place is you don’t want to leave when racing is over. Cordova truly is a special place.” |
