O’Reilly NHRA Spring Nationals
EVENT HOME

March 27-29
Houston Raceway Park 2525 FM 565 South Houston Raceway Park benefits from incredible atmospheric conditions because of its proximity to Trinity Bay, which feeds the facility cool air. The track’s first NHRA national event, in fall 1988, established HRP as one of the sport’s quickest with NHRA’s first four-second Top Fuel quarter-mile pass and a new national record. Since then, the track has been host to a dizzying array of record runs, including the first sub-4.5-second Top Fuel quarter-mile pass, by Larry Dixon in 1999. How to Get There: Baytown is about 25 miles east of downtown Houston, and the track is 2.5 miles south of Interstate 10. From downtown Houston, take I-10 east to Highway 146 and go south to FM 565 (the second stoplight). Take FM 565 east (left) about three miles to the track. From Highway 146 south, turn right on FM 565 (third stoplight after Fred Hartman Bridge). Take FM 565 east about three miles to the track.
