The NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway, scheduled for August 28-30, has been canceled due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. NHRA announced the decision after deliberation with track representatives, health officials, and government authorities, according to a release.

“It is with great regret that we announce the cancellation of the NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway,” said Kasey Coler, vice president of track management and operations. “This tough decision was made following numerous discussions with our stakeholders regarding the ability to host and celebrate the 40th anniversary of the race. Unfortunately, under the current circumstances, we would not be able to provide the event a proper platform to honor and celebrate this historic anniversary.”

The anniversary of the historic race will be celebrated in 2021. Event ticket holders will receive more information from NHRA via email.
