The most notable of Summit’s programs is the NHRA Summit Drag Racing Series, which in sheer numbers, is the world’s largest motorsports program. Contested at member tracks across North America, the program encompasses grass-roots bracket racers of all levels, from Super Pro and Pro down to motorcycles racers. The series culminates with the annual Summit Racing Equipment E.T. Finals, held in each of the NHRA’s seven geographic divisions each fall.

Each of the division champions in Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, and Motorcycle receive a trophy, jacket, and winner’s purse, and earn the honor of representing their division at the season-ending NHRA Auto Club Finals in Pomona, California for the NHRA Summit Racing Series National Championship.
