The NHRA will return to Phoenix for the 2024 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season for the Arizona Nationals next year at the recently renamed Firebird Motorsports Park. The NHRA had previously announced that the Chandler, Arizona, facility would close after the 2023 event.

The new moniker refers to the original Firebird International Raceway, the name of the track when it opened 40 years ago, according to the NHRA.

"It's with tremendous excitement that we announce the NHRA's return to Phoenix and Firebird Motorsports Park in 2024," NHRA President Glen Cromwell said. "Our fans have packed that facility for nearly 40 years, and it was truly incredible to see the fans' outpouring of support to help continue racing at the historic track. We're thrilled to work with the Gila River Indian Community, and all of our race teams, fans and partners look forward to a terrific event at Firebird Motorsports Park in 2024."

The Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock categories are expected to appear at the 2024 NHRA Arizona Nationals, scheduled for April 5-7, 2024.
