Will I get a refund on my NHRA.tv event pass? 
Your NHRA.tv event pass will still be valid for the event which was postponed. For our year-long subscribers, NHRA.tv is a great way to catch up on NHRA races from years past and re-watch some of your favorite moments.

How will this affect the Countdown to the Championship?
Due to the new condensed schedule for the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series, NHRA will not reset points after the Denso Spark Plugs NHRA U.S. Nationals. Points will count throughout the season without a Countdown.

Why is the Mello Yello series only running for two days instead of three?
Competition timelines have been condensed at all remaining 2020 national events (with the exception of the Denso Spark Plugs NHRA U.S. Nationals which will have one qualifying round on Friday and two qualifying rounds on Saturday prior to final eliminations on Sunday) due to a number of economic and logistical factors that have come into play as we rework the schedule. However, plenty of exciting racing action will still be happening every day of the event including many of NHRA’s specialty categories and the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series.

How many qualifying passes will competitors in the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series categories get for two-day events?
Drivers will make two qualifying passes on Saturday before competing in eliminations on Sunday.

I bought a full event ticket expecting to see the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series run all three days. Will I get a ticket credit or refund?
Please contact the track from which your tickets were purchased to learn about your options. 

Will Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle run at all of the rescheduled events?
Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle will compete in a schedule similar to what they were intended to run prior to the revision.

Has the revised 2020 Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Schedule been released?
Yes, see the schedule here: https://www.nhra.com/lucas-oil-divisional-series-schedule
