Autodromo of Monterrey Back in NHRA Member Track Network as Part of Division 4

NHRA officials are excited to announce that Autodromo of Monterrey has returned to the NHRA Member Track Network in NHRA’s South Central Division (Division 4).

Located in Apodaca, Nuevo León, Mexico, Autodromo of Monterrey is a popular multi-purpose facility, one that includes a standout dragstrip. Boasting a vast history and several events each year, the track returns to the NHRA Member Track Network after previously being affiliated with NHRA.

NHRA officials worked closely with the facility as the partnership came together, as well as Century Prime Global, which played an important role in Autodromo of Monterrey rejoining the NHRA family.

“Century Prime Global is honored to represent the Autodromo of Monterrey as we help bring an international NHRA racing event to Mexico,” Century Prime Global President Rudy Gutierrez said. ”Together, we are creating a historic milestone that celebrates Mexico’s rich motorsports heritage and inspires future generations to dream bigger, race faster, and make history.”

“The Autodromo of Monterrey team is excited to become an NHRA Member Track and help write a new chapter in the history of drag racing in Mexico,” Autodromo CEO Gilberto Jimenez said.

Autodromo of Monterrey is also part of NHRA’s expansive track network outside of the United States, joining 12 international tracks in Canada, Bahrain and Puerto Rico.

By joining the NHRA Member Track Network, Autodromo of Monterrey will be eligible to offer racers in the area a variety of NHRA-sanctioned racing opportunities in the future, including the NHRA Summit Racing Series presented by Hoosier, the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League, NHRA Street Legal, NHRA Jr. Street and more. Additionally, the track will have the chance to host NHRA specialty events like the NHRA Summit King of the Track and more.

The facility will also get access to NHRA’s extensive support programs as part of the member track network, insurance benefits and national marketing platforms as they excitedly move into a new era for the facility.

“Division 4 has always represented more than just the South Central United States,” NHRA Division 4 Director Jonathan Johnson said. “It represents an international racing community. Having Autodromo of Monterrey join NHRA reinforces that commitment and opens an exciting new chapter for racers.
