NHRA U.S. Nationals

The Mac Tools U.S. Nationals is an NHRA-sanctioned drag racing event. The U.S. Nationals are considered the most prestigious drag racing event in the world. The distinction stems from the U.S. Nationals being the oldest, largest, and richest drag racing event worldwide.^[1] The event is held at O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis in Clermont, Indiana.

It is the only Monday event on the schedule, and is the longest-running Labor Day motorsports event in the United States, a distinction it earned in 2004.

The event moved to O'Reilly Raceway Park in 1961, from Detroit Dragway, after a verbal deal was made between NHRA founder, and Board Chairman, Wally Parks, and the then-owners of the track, which held the name of Indianapolis Raceway Park at the time. The U.S. Nationals have been held there since. In 1979, the NHRA bought the entire complex. In 2007, it was renamed O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis, after auto parts supplier O'Reilly Auto Parts won entitlement to the track.
