About the NHRA U.S. Nationals
First held in 1955 and staged at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park since 1961, the U.S. Nationals — 'The Big Go' — is drag racing's oldest, biggest, and most prestigious event, traditionally run over Labor Day weekend. Tony Schumacher has won the event a class-record 10 times in Top Fuel (2000, 2002-04, 2006-09, 2012, 2016).
Winning Indy carries more prestige than any other victory on the NHRA tour.
