NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

As has been the custom throughout the year, at the final event of its 75th Anniversary season, NHRA will salute drivers whose remarkable careers have made them members of select groups of honorees.

The Top 75 Drivers list was an extension of the Top 50 list created in the 2001 50th anniversary season, with 25 new drivers added based on their successes over the last 25 years.

The Top 50 Sportsman Racers and Top 25 Alcohol Drivers lists salute drivers from throughout NHRA’s long history who have established themselves as superior among their peers. The lists were all selected by panels of drag racing experts.

The following drivers will be saluted on Saturday at the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals and presented with commemorative items honoring their accomplishments.
