To help celebrate and commemorate NHRA's 75th Anniversary celebration in 2026, NHRA Publications has created two handsome books that tell the stories of NHRA's acceleration into motorsports glory and salute the heroes who helped drive the sport forward.

NHRA 75: A Legacy of Speed is a handsome, 208-page coffee-table-style book that chronicles the sport's meteoric rise from humble beginnings to superstar stature. It's packed with historic photos, some of which have never been published, and presents the history of the NHRA in chronological fashion, allowing fans to relive the magic. Sprinkled through the book are features on legends of the quarter-mile, memorable moments, and technological breakthroughs that powered the sport.
