Last summer, NMRA/NMCA officials rolled out the Racer Text Message System as a means to communicate better with racers. This valuable tool is used to announce scheduling updates, staging lane calls, weather alerts, driver meetings, and much more throughout an event weekend. The Racer Text Message System will become even more valuable in 2018.

Their Facebook pages will contain event results, news, entertainment, and general information about the events.

Alerts will be sent via the Racer Text Message System and posted on their websites with special racer details like competition daily scheduling, rules updates, points updates, racer announcements, and other direct competition communication.

Racers for the NMRA series can enroll at here and the NMCA series at here.   [01/12/18]

Alexis DeJoria may return to racing when her children are older, the newly retired Funny Car driver told In Depth with Graham Bensinger.

The nationally syndicated show was doing an interview with her father, billionaire John Paul DeJoria, and Alexis made an appearance.

“Maybe when the girls are out of the house, in college or something like that – I might,” Ms. DeJoria said. “Or I might just do some fun countdown races or maybe race Indy… It’s hard to find a team that will come together for just a couple races… It just all depends on what’s out there and really what I’m willing to sacrifice at home to do that again. But as far as a full-time schedule, I don’t see that happening anytime soon.”
