American Rebel Light Beer will serve as the title sponsor for the fifth annual Virginia NHRA Nationals, taking place June 20-22 at Virginia Motorsports Park. This marks the ninth event on the 20-race NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series schedule for 2025.
The Virginia NHRA Nationals will feature a two-day race format, allowing fans to witness three qualifying sessions on Saturday followed by eliminations on Sunday. The event will showcase high-speed nitro machines reaching 330 mph and harnessing 12,000 horsepower.
This marks American Rebel Light’s second title sponsorship for the year, following their involvement in the NHRA event in Charlotte. Andy Ross, CEO of American Rebel Beer, will also perform with his band during the event.
“American Rebel Light is honored to be named title sponsor of the upcoming Virginia NHRA Nationals,” Ross said. “The exposure and impact from being title sponsor at Charlotte was tremendous, putting us on the map in North Carolina and nationwide.”
Fans aged 21 and over will have access to American Rebel Light Beer while enjoying the race. The sponsorship will enhance brand exposure among beer drinkers in Virginia.
Last year, Doug Kalitta in Top Fuel, Austin Prock in Funny Car, and Gaige Herrera in Pro Stock Motorcycle claimed victories during the two-day event in Richmond. This year’s event will be broadcast on FOX and FS1, with eliminations to begin at 4 p.m. ET on Sunday, June 22.
Qualifying on Saturday includes three rounds at 11:30 a.m., 2 p.m., and 4:30 p.m. ET, culminating in eliminations starting at 12 p.m. ET on Sunday. Fans can also catch the Mission ##2Fast2Tasty Challenge bonus race during the last two sessions.
“We’re thrilled to have American Rebel Light return as a title sponsor for the Virginia NHRA Nationals,” said Brad Gerber, NHRA Vice President and Chief Development Officer. “It’s exciting to see that relationship continue to grow.”
