About NHRA Northwest Nationals

The NHRA Northwest Nationals is an annual NHRA national event featuring professional drag racing in Kent, Washington (Seattle metro area) at Pacific Raceways. Typically held in summer in late July or early August, it’s long been a staple on the NHRA national schedule and stands out as the region’s lone NHRA national event—drawing fans from Washington, Oregon, and across the Northwest for a full weekend at the dragstrip.

On the competition side, the event follows NHRA’s elimination format: head-to-head runs down the quarter-mile drag strip (with nitro classes racing a shortened 1,000-foot distance), where the winner advances and the loser is eliminated. Qualifying sessions over the opening days set the elimination ladder and determine low qualifiers, with eliminations run on the final day (Sunday). Along with prize money, drivers and teams compete for the iconic NHRA national event trophy (the “Wally”) and points toward the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series championship.

The weekend typically features Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle, plus various sportsman categories. Recent winners at Pacific Raceways include Shawn Langdon (Top Fuel), Daniel Wilkerson (Funny Car), and Richard Gadson (Pro Stock Motorcycle), and the event regularly brings many of NHRA’s biggest names to the Northwest. With Pacific Raceways’ outdoor, wooded setting and energetic crowds, it’s a standout stop to see Top Fuel and Funny Car reach speeds in excess of 330 mph in roughly 3.6 to 4 seconds. If you’re planning to attend NHRA Northwest Nationals, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.

How Much Do NHRA Northwest Nationals Tickets Cost?

NHRA Northwest Nationals tickets typically range from around $40 to $80 for general admission single-day tickets to higher prices for multi-day and reserved grandstand options, with premium packages running higher.

Pricing is most affected by which day you attend (with Sunday eliminations typically commanding the most), reserved grandstand vs. general admission, pit access, and whether you’re choosing multi-day packages. If you’re looking for value, earlier days and general admission access can be a strong way to take in qualifying and explore the dragstrip experience, while premium seating and pit access cater to fans who want a more up-close race weekend.

• Parking: On-site parking is available at Pacific Raceways.
• Bag policy: Check the bag policy before you go so there are no surprises at the entrance.
