The International Hot Rod Assn has parted ways with its president, Kenny Nowling.

The move was confirmed with a statement on Facebook on Thursday afternoon.

The International Hot Rod Association and former president Kenny Knowling have parted ways effective immediately. This decision underscores the IHRAs commitment to prioritizing safety, competition and integrity in its operations, the statement read.

As this transition period begins to take shape internally, the IHRA is focused on maintaining transparency and communication. Weekly updates will be provided, leading to a live Q&A session in February with the new leadership of the IHRA, ensuring all stakeholders are informed and engaged.

Nowling was appointed president of IHRA on Oct. 21 and less than a month later began touting the renowned sanctioning bodys return to glory.

In December, Nowling announced the signing of a multi-million-dollar sponsorship from Darana Hybrid, which is owned by Darryl Cuttell, and the return of the IHRA Nitro Jam Series among other announcements.

Less than a week later, Nowling announced that Cuttell was purchasing the organization, which was founded by Larry Carrier in 1970.

It is unknown at this time if Cuttell has taken control or if ownership has reverted to previous owner Larry Jeffers.
