There's no bigger event that racers want to win and no greater must-see event for fans than the annual Mac Tools U.S. Nationals, drag racing's oldest, richest, and most prestigious meet. The U.S. Nationals, first contested in 1955 in Great Bend, Kan., turns 50 this year amid what is sure to be a gala celebration rich in nostalgia and drama at famed Indianapolis Raceway Park, the event's home since 1961. In addition to witnessing some of the finest side-by-side racing on the schedule, fans attending the Golden Anniversary Mac Tools U.S. Nationals will be treated to historic displays of race cars from bygone eras and have the chance to meet and get autographs from the greatest quarter-mile stars of the last 50 years.
