As part of the NHRA’s 75th anniversary season in 2026, Pro Stock will compete at all 20 races next year, giving fans across the country the chance to see the standout category in action.

It puts Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock at all 20 events in 2026, while Pro Stock Motorcycle will be contested at 14 races, plus the GETTRX All-Star Callout in Sonoma.

The two-wheeled category will also compete in Chicago, as part of NHRA’s national event debut at Maryland International Raceway, Bristol and Norwalk in a busy May and June.
The eight riders who qualify for the GETTRX Pro Stock Motorcycle Callout will compete in the bonus race at the Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals on July 17-18.
