Acquisition of the World Drag Racing Alliance by the International Hot Rod Association
Fairfield, OH — November 26, 2025 — The complete acquisition of the World Drag Racing Alliance (WDRA) by the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA), first announced as a collaboration earlier this year, has now been completed and officially confirmed by both organizations.
The WDRA, which has focused on supporting its member tracks and the bracket racing community through benefits and programming, will now fold into Darryl Cuttell’s newly reimagined IHRA. Cuttell, who has been the talk of the sport since PRI last year, continues to overhaul drag racing with major facility acquisitions, renovations, and the expansion of the IHRA Outlaw Nitro national event series.
With the acquisition of WDRA—formerly sanctioning 62 tracks across 25 states and five Canadian provinces—IHRA becomes the most significant global sanctioning body for drag racing facilities, now representing 117 member tracks across the United States, Canada, Aruba, Australia, and New Zealand.
