The 25th Annual Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals, fueled by Direct Connection, will roar back to The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway from October 30 through November 2, 2025. This high-octane showdown isn’t just another race—it’s the second-to-last clash in the 20-event NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series and a crucial pit stop in the Countdown to the Championship. With titles hanging in the balance, Vegas in the fall has morphed into drag racing’s biggest spectacle, the ideal backdrop for Dodge to flex its muscle and flaunt its legacy of raw American speed.

“Dodge is powering up to finish strong,” said Dodge CEO Matt McAlear. “We’ve had much success at The Strip, with Matt Hagan winning five times and Tony Stewart taking his first Top Fuel victory earlier this year. We’re looking forward to another unforgettable weekend.”
Those triumphs aren’t flukes. Dodge has been tearing up drag strips since the glory days of snarling muscle cars, and now, with factory-backed beasts and Direct Connection—its go-to performance parts wing—cranking the dial to 11, the brand’s Motorsport game is tighter than ever. Partnering with Tony Stewart Racing? Pure gold, delivering fireworks in both Top Fuel and Funny Car.
Speaking of Stewart, the guy’s sitting fourth in points entering the final push, while his teammate, four-time Funny Car champ Matt Hagan, just scorched St. Louis and sits second. Translation? Dodge could walk away with not one but multiple titles.
NHRA executives praised Dodge’s return as title sponsor. “Having Dodge and Direct Connection on board only adds to the excitement,” said NHRA Vice President Brad Gerber. “Their history and commitment to drag racing are unmatched.”
Top Fuel. Funny Car. Pro Stock. Pro Stock Motorcycle. The NHRA Lucas Oil series. Even the Congruity NHRA Pro Mod finale. This weekend’s got it all. Catch the action live at the track or tune into FS1 for Sunday’s eliminations.
For Dodge, this isn’t just about crossing a finish line. It’s a full-throttle tribute to horsepower, heritage, and the die-hard fans who live for the scream of rubber and nitro.
