Buckle up, drag racing fans! Sonoma Raceway is ready to bring the heat with another year of full-throttle action for the 2025 Sonoma Drags season.
Kicking off in March, the 37th season of Sonoma Drags returns with seven drag racing events on Wednesday nights, held most months through October. These nights are the perfect opportunity for drivers to put the pedal to the metal on Sonoma Raceway’s legendary quarter-mile drag strip. Open to any street-legal vehicle that passes a basic safety inspection, the track welcomes everything from high-performance muscle cars to the family minivan. There’s no judgement here – just pure, unfiltered fun and speed.
The ever-popular Top The Cops® program also returns in 2025, giving high school students the chance to drag race local law enforcement, competing in full uniform in their official vehicles, on the same drag strip as the top professional racing series for a unique and friendly showdown. It’s all about fostering respect, safety, and a shared love of speed – on the track, not the streets.
Of course, the crown jewel of the drag racing season is the DENSO NHRA Sonoma Nationals Mission Foods Drag Racing Series event with more than 22,000 horsepower set to rattle the wine country grapevines on July 25-27. The fastest drivers in the world will descend on Sonoma Raceway for three full days of record-breaking runs and head-to-head battles.
For fans of grassroots competition, the schedule also features three Bracket Drags events throughout the year, where drivers test their skill, consistency and nerve in high-stakes, point-based matchups.
Whether you’re behind the wheel or cheering from the stands, Sonoma Drags is your ticket to an adrenaline-filled mid-week escape. Racing starts at just $60 for advanced registration or purchase at the gate, $20 to race with a high school ID, $20 for spectators at the gate, and kids 12 and under are free, making it the perfect family outing.
