VALDOSTA, Ga. NHRA and JEGS are thrilled to announce a multi-year extension of one of the biggest events of the year on the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series circuit, the JEGS NHRA SPORTSnationals, as well as an exciting new destination in 2025 for one of the biggest sportsman races.
The 2025 JEGS SPEEDweek doubleheader event will head to its new home at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Valdosta, Ga., as the JEGS SPORTSnationals takes place July 9-10. It is the lead-in to the adrenaline-packed JEGS SPEEDweek that also runs July 11-12 and features a Lucas Oil competition doubleheader that spans four action-packed days.
Racing at SGMP provides exciting new possibilities for the tradition-rich JEGS SPORTSnationals, which promises to deliver a spectacular drag racing spectacle and furthering the strong partnership between JEGS and NHRA.
JEGS is proud to continue our long-standing partnership with the NHRA through 2028, JEGS CEO Gabe Mendoza said. Extending our partnership reinforces our dedication to the future of motorsports. For more than six decades, JEGS has been a trusted name for enthusiasts, racers, and builders across the automotive world and the NHRA.
JEGS is committed to expanding our presence across the automotive world by reaching new markets, introducing innovative products, and strengthening our connection with customers.
The race has enjoyed a storied history with a strong backing from JEGS, which is celebrating its 65th year in 2025. The hundreds of racers competing in Valdosta can expect a huge purse and payout, as well as non-stop action with the JEGS SPORTSnationals and regional race.
It makes for one of the biggest race weekends of the year, as the JEGS SPEEDweek doubleheader event is expected to attract hundreds of competitors from all seven NHRA divisions across the country. Drivers in eight different categories will be competing for a massive payout at the action-packed weekend, laying its claim as one of the marquee events of the sportsman season.
We are thrilled at the opportunity to host the SPORTSnationals at SGMP. It is a great opportunity for our staff to become a part of such a recognized and distinguished race, SGMP Owner Raul Torres said. Our team works tirelessly for opportunities like this so we can continue to prove ourselves in the industry we love.
