In-N-Out Burger, the legendary Southern California burger brand with deep roots in drag racing, has teamed up with Alex Laughlin for the season finale of the Congruity NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series at the 25th annual Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals, October 30 through November 2, 2025, at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Laughlin, currently ninth in championship points, will carry In-N-Out Burger branding alongside the Slave 2 Nothing Foundation logo, extending the brand’s proud legacy in motorsports while raising awareness for a cause close to In-N-Out CEO Lynsi Snyder’s heart.
“This partnership is incredibly personal and meaningful to me,” said Laughlin. “I’ve been a devoted fan of In-N-Out Burger since I was a kid. Growing up, my family traveled often, and whenever our journeys took us to California, one of our very first stops was always In-N-Out. As Lynsi Snyder and her remarkable team have continued expanding the brand across America, we’re now fortunate to enjoy their iconic burgers more frequently – especially back home in Texas. Alongside the In-N-Out branding, we’re proud to represent the Slave 2 Nothing Foundation, Lynsi’s inspiring mission to help free individuals from being enslaved to any person or substance. In-N-Out has a deep legacy in drag racing, and I’m deeply honored and grateful to Lynsi and her team for entrusting us with this opportunity to carry that heritage forward.”
Snyder, who has been a fixture in the drag racing world for years and competes herself in Top Sportsman, echoed the sentiment and praised Laughlin’s willingness to use his platform to highlight the mission of Slave 2 Nothing.
“We were so honored when Alex asked to include the Slave 2 Nothing logo on his car,” Snyder said. “Having been personally touched by substance abuse, setting people free from any substance or person is very important to me. To know that Alex is joining in that and helping to educate people about the freedom that exists when we stand together against addiction and human trafficking is deeply meaningful. Alex’s willingness to use his platform for something bigger than himself speaks volumes about his heart and character.”
Founded in Baldwin Park, California, in 1948 by Harry and Esther Snyder, In-N-Out Burger has long shared a bond with the drag racing community. The brand’s earliest locations were a short drive from the birthplace of organized drag racing, and its parking lots have been filled with hot rods and car enthusiasts since the beginning. Over the years, In-N-Out’s connection to the NHRA has only deepened. The company became title sponsor of the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip and the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals, both of which have hosted some of the sport’s most historic moments. Lynsi Snyder’s own love for the sport – both as a racer and as a steward of her family’s legacy – has kept the brand’s presence in drag racing strong, from grassroots levels to the championship stage.
The 25th annual Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals powered by Direct Connection serves as the final event in the 2025 Congruity NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series season. For In-N-Out and Laughlin, it’s a fitting stage to celebrate performance, perseverance, and purpose in one of the sport’s most high-stakes weekends.
In-N-Out Burger’s story has always been intertwined with horsepower and humanity – serving as both a symbol of California car culture and a reminder that doing things the right way never goes out of style. With its 77th anniversary celebrated earlier this month, the brand continues to embody the same principles that made it a staple for racers, fans, and families alike: quality, community, and an unbreakable link between food, faith, and fast cars. That legacy will now roll into Las Vegas with Alex Laughlin behind the wheel, representing not just a brand but a belief – that the things that bring us together are stronger than the forces that pull us apart.
