Division 1 Much Stronger Now with IHRA's Realignment

HOUSE SPRINGS, MO, USA — The International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) division realignment is highlighted today with the new Division 1.

The restructuring of these divisions will create a better and fairer format with the Summit Team Finals. For example, the new Division 1 now includes a combination of its own tracks and the old Division 9. The IHRA Division 1 Summit Team Finals are scheduled for Oct. 2-5 at Darlington Dragway.

Besides the host facility, seven other track partners are now a part of Division 1. It includes two tracks within 60 miles of Darlington Dragway. Those tracks are Pageland Dragway, just 40 miles away, and 710 Dragway, which is 60 miles away.

Even travel from the tracks located farther distances from the Summit Team Finals site now make sense.

Elk Creek Dragway, the two-time defending IHRA Division 1 Team Champions, remain a part of the new group, 215 miles away from Darlington. It’s also an equal distance for Roxboro Motorsports Park to also make the trip.

Three other North Carolina tracks — Piedmont Dragway, Shadyside Dragway and Wilkesboro Dragway —will be eligible to compete in the IHRA Division 1 Summit Team Finals. They are all within 200 miles of Darlington Dragway.

These moves should strengthen Division 1 and provide a more enjoyable Summit Team Finals for the racers. Check out IHRA.com Facebook page tomorrow when we highlight the Division 2 tracks. #IHRAReturnToGlory
