There’s already an expansion before they’ve even hit the track for the first event.

The rejuvenated International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) announced a significant expansion of the Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series during halftime of Saturday’s NFL game featuring the Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos. The series will return with a 10-race schedule in 2025, marking the first events in a decade. Previous announcements had indicated the series would do a soft opening in 2025 with a three-race schedule.

That appears to be a thing of the past as IHRA has revealed fans can expect to see several iconic classes, including Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Mod, and Mountain Motor Pro Stock at all 2025 Nitro Jam events. Additional professional classes at select events will include 500-inch Pro Stock, Nitro Harley, Top Fuel Motorcycle, and Pro Stock Motorcycle.

A detailed breakdown of class locations will be included in the upcoming schedule release. Sportsman classes featured at every IHRA Nitro Jam event in 2025 will include Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, Quick Rod, Super Rod, Hot Rod, Super Stock, and Stock.

IHRA content will be broadcast on Speed Sport 1, reaching over 200 million consumers on mainstream platforms. It will also be available to 300 million users on major mobile platforms and streaming services at www.speedsport1.com.

“This is another incredible step in the #IHRAReturnToGlory,” IHRA President Kenny Nowling said. “Thanks to our new parent company, Cuttell Motorsports LLC as well as several current IHRA marketing partners and those who will be announced in the coming months, we will be taking the IHRA to unprecedented heights.”
