16th Annual

Aug. 1-3
Infineon Raceway
Located in Sonoma Valley’s wine country, Infineon Raceway has hosted the Fram Autolite NHRA Nationals since 1988. Last year, at the first race at the newly rebuilt facility formerly called Sears Point Raceway, Doug Herbert defeated Doug Kalitta in the Top Fuel final for his first and only win of the year. John Force defeated Ron Capps in the Funny Car final by .003-second. For the first time in eight years, Larry Morgan won Pro Stock, and Warren Johnson’s 15-year, 303-race consecutive qualifying string ended. Craig Treble added to event firsts by winning the first Pro Stock Bike eliminator held at this race.
