5 Reasons to Go 4-Wide This Weekend

Whether you’re a seasoned fan or first time drag race attendee, zMAX Dragway is the place to be for heart-pounding excitement!

Engines rev up for the NGK Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals on Friday, April 27 and the action continues through Sunday, April 29. Here are five reasons you should join us in Concord, NC this weekend!

It’s zMAX Dragway’s Birthday

This year marks the 10^th Anniversary of zMAX Dragway, the first four-lane drag strip on the NHRA schedule. Known as “the Bellagio of Drag Strips,” zMAX has celebrated a lot of famous firsts over the years. It hosted the first NHRA-sanctioned four-wide race. It was also home to the first 1,000-ft. lap run in under four seconds in Funny Car history–  completed in 3.995 seconds by driver Matt Hagan. See the full list of firsts here.

Feel the Force of 40,000 Horsepower

Each nitro-burning machine boasts 10,000-horsepower. Combined with the layout of the original four-lane drag strip, this set up means that you get the full effect of 40,000-horsepower tearing down the track as the best racers in the sport run side-by-side-by-side-by-side. Talk about an adrenaline rush!

Every Ticket is a Pit Pass

All tickets to the NGK Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals give you access to the pits where you can see your favorite drivers, hard-working crews and their impressive cars up close.
