57th AMALIE Motor Oil NHRA GATORNATIONALS
THANK YOU FOR KICKING OFF THE NHRA 75TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON IN STYLE!
The AMALIE Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals is an annual National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) national drag race event held each March at Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida. The 2026 event will officially be held March 5-8 and serve as the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season opener kicking off the 75th anniversary season for the NHRA!

The event was held for the first time in 1970. The traditional East Coast opener is one of the sport’s most revered with a rich tradition of history-making performances.
