NHRA has announced a change to the structure in which racers earn points toward a berth in the popular JEGS Allstars program. Beginning with the 2018 JEGS Allstars event, racers will now count their best five in-division events toward their JEGS Allstars points total.  

Previously a racer would count all in-division events toward their points total, but by moving to a racer’s best five events, it will open the program up to more JEGS Allstars hopefuls. The points structure will continue to be a 12-month points battle in that events in the second part of 2017, along with events at the beginning of 2018, will count towards a racer's 2018 points total.

Representing your NHRA home division at the prestigious JEGS Allstars and having the chance to be crowed a JEGS Allstar champion is a highlight of any racer's career. The annual event is hosted at the Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway outside Chicago with a weekend of activities. The JEGS Allstars welcome dinner kicks off the festivities on Friday night, followed by JEGS Allstars Saturday with the driver introductions pre-race ceremony, three rounds of competition, and a winner’s circle celebration that includes the crowning of both team and individual champions.

The 2017 JEGS Allstar Points are final in Divisions 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7. Division 3 will set its team after the Lucas Oil Series event in Norwalk this weekend, and the Division 5 team will be set the weekend of June 2-4, at SRCA Dragstrip in Great Bend, Kan. The Top Alcohol Regional Teams are set for the East, Central, and West Regions with the North Central Region finalizing their team this weekend.
