NHRA has released the 2026 Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle schedules for the Mission Foods Drag Racing Series, which will include special GETTRX All-Star Callout events in both categories. The announcement comes as part of NHRA’s 75th anniversary season.
Pro Stock will compete at all 20 national events next year, joining Top Fuel and Funny Car as full-time categories. The milestone season will begin March 5-8 with the 56th annual NHRA Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway.
Pro Stock Motorcycle will appear at 14 national events, plus its GETTRX All-Star Callout in Sonoma. The class will continue its tradition of opening at Gainesville, followed by stops in Charlotte’s four-wide event and at South Georgia Motorsports Park during the venue’s first NHRA national race.
The bike category will also race in Chicago, Maryland International Raceway’s NHRA debut, Bristol, and Norwalk, setting up a crowded May and June stretch. Later in the year, all qualified riders will return for Indy before joining the Countdown to the Championship.
Eight riders will earn spots in the GETTRX Pro Stock Motorcycle Callout at Sonoma during the Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals on July 17-18. That race will not count toward season points but will provide a bonus showcase for the top names.
All four NHRA professional categories — Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle — will be featured in each of the six Countdown playoff races. The postseason stops include Reading, a yet-to-be-named event, St. Louis, Dallas, Las Vegas and Pomona.
The GETTRX Pro Stock All-Star Callout returns to Norwalk on June 27. That bonus event will run alongside Callouts for Top Fuel in Gainesville on March 7 and Funny Car in Indianapolis on Sept. 6 during the U.S. Nationals.
NHRA also confirmed the continuation of the Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge in 2026. The program, which offers bonus purses and championship points during Saturday qualifying, will run at 13 regular-season events, including Charlotte’s four-wide format.
