The NHRA Summit Racing Series that is contested across North America forms the world’s largest motorsports program in terms of racer participation. Participating NHRA member tracks host regularly scheduled events and award points. At the end of the season, each track selects a team of racers from among its top points finishers to represent the track in a divisional Summit Racing Series Finals. Competitors, running in different categories based on performance, race until a champion is crowned in each category. Points totals also are tallied for team honors.
