In a historic and highly anticipated milestone, competitors will battle for the prestigious NHRA Wally trophy, elevating the World Street Nationals to an entirely new level of competition and recognition.

Known as “The Original” and “Grandfather of all”, the World Street Nationals has built a reputation as the premier stage for the fastest street/strip cars in the world. From elite-level competitors to rising stars, racers will converge in Orlando to prove who truly belongs at the top.

This year’s partnership with FuelTech brings cutting-edge technology and innovation to the forefront, reinforcing the event’s commitment to performance, precision, and progression in modern drag racing.

For the first time in event history, winners will earn the iconic NHRA Wally, a symbol of excellence recognized across the global drag racing community. This addition raises the stakes, turning every pass down the track into a defining moment for racers chasing both victory and legacy.

“Adding the Wally to the World Street Nationals changes everything,” said event organizers. “This isn’t just about winning a race anymore. It’s about earning a place in drag racing history.”

Fans can expect an electric atmosphere as horsepower, technology, and driver skill collide in one of the most competitive environments in the sport. Classes and payout details will be announced soon.
