The NHRA and JEGS have announced a multi-year extension of the JEGS Allstars. This extension ensures the continuation of one of the most prominent showcases for drivers in the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series.
The JEGS Allstars will return to the Texas Motorplex in 2025 for the third consecutive year, taking place during the Stampede of Speed and the 40th annual Texas NHRA FallNationals, scheduled for October 8–12. The event has become a key attraction during the Stampede of Speed and will again highlight some of the most talented sportsman racers from across the United States.
“JEGS is proud to continue our longstanding partnership with the NHRA in presenting the JEGS Allstars, an event that showcases the highest level of sportsman competition,” JEGS CEO Gabe Mendoza said. “For more than four decades, this program has recognized the dedication, performance, and excellence of racers from across the country and beyond. We are honored to play a key role in one of the most prestigious events in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series and remain committed to supporting its continued growth and impact.”
The JEGS Allstars features a unique team-based format that brings together standout competitors from NHRA’s seven geographic divisions. Racers qualify by accumulating points throughout the season in their respective divisions in 10 categories: Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Competition Eliminator, Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, Top Dragster, and Top Sportsman.
“The JEGS Allstars has become a major addition to the Stampede of Speed and Texas Fall Nationals lineup, and we are thrilled to have it back,” Texas Motorplex Co-Owner Christie Meyer Johnson said. “Having racers from all over the country race in an all-star event brings a lot of prestige to the Fall Nationals. Seeing the emotion and passion from those drivers really makes the Stampede of Speed an even more special event for all our fans. We have added some Texas traditions to the JEGS Allstars and hope that we will continue to make this a memorable event for all the racers, their fans, and teams.”
In addition to individual class titles, teams compete for the overall Allstars team championship. The event includes several Texas-themed elements, such as custom-designed shirts and decals, personalized cowboy hats for winners, a custom trophy, and the distinctive JEGS Allstars championship belt buckle.
“The JEGS Allstars has been a hallmark event for 40 years, and we’re thrilled to see JEGS continue as the title sponsor of this special and unique event,” NHRA Vice President and Chief Development Officer Brad Gerber said. “They see the tremendous value in this team event that brings out the best in our remarkably talented sportsman racers. The race has found a great home at Texas Motorplex, and we look forward to seeing this event continue to grow and thrive for years to come.”
