Jegs Allstars
JEGS Allstars to be contested during historic U.S. Nationals for second year
INDIANAPOLIS – Last year, the JEGS Allstars race found a new home when it moved to historic Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis. Held 
during the Dodge SRT U.S. Nationals, NHRA’s oldest and most prestigious event, the pairing proved to be a successful one with Indy proving to be the perfect host for the JEGS Allstars race, which celebrates its 37th year in 2021.
This week, the best Sportsman racers from across NHRA’s seven geographic divisions will return to Indianapolis for the special event that crowns both an overall team champion and individual winners in 10 separate eliminators.
For the 80 racers who have qualified for the special event, winning an individual title at the JEGS Allstars race is a tremendous achievement, but being a part of the winning team is an extra-special accomplishment, particularly on the hallowed grounds of Lucas Oil Raceway, which has been home to the U.S. Nationals since 1961.
Last year, the team from the West Central Division turned in a dominant performance to win their third overall title in the last seven seasons. The Division 5 crew also won titles in 2014 and 2016.

INDIANNAPOLIS – Former NHRA Division 5 Super Comp champion, Jordan Pratt, will get a chance to display his skills on one of the most 
prestigious stages within the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series next week; the JEGS Allstars. Pratt’s current number one seat in the NHRA Division 5 Super Street points qualifies him to compete amongst other top-ranked racers as they battle for their share of the $124,000 total purse.
The JEGS Allstars will be contested during the NHRA U.S. Nationals Sept. 1-5, 2021, at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis. Pratt understands that leaving Indy victorious is no easy feat, which is why he has aligned himself with reputable companies and machinery. He has utilized Bishop’s Performance since 2017 and is enthusiastic about their ongoing partnership.
“There are a lot of moving parts to a successful racing operation,” Pratt explains, “and when it comes to the transmission, I rely on Bishop’s Performance to supply both our cars with high quality parts and service. Chris [Bishop] has the expertise to provide a reliable transmission that performs lap after lap.”

INDIANAPOLIS -The best Sportsman racers that NHRA has to offer are headed for historic Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis this weekend to take part in the 36th annual JEGS Allstars, a special event held during the Denso Spark Plugs U.S. Nationals. The event was originally scheduled to take place in Chicago in June, but has been moved to Indy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
