NHRA officials announced a sellout crowd on Sunday at Sonoma Raceway, capping off three straight days of sellout crowds for the fan-favorite Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals presented by PowerEdge.

The race is the 11th of 20 events during NHRA’s 75th anniversary season and the passionate fanbase packed the standout facility all three days of the 38th annual event.

The weekend featured a wealth of action on the track, including the Deecell After Dark Low Qualifier, the GETTRX Pro Stock Motorcycle All-Star Callout, the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge, four rounds of qualifying and eliminations on Sunday in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series. 

Each day featured a massive overflow crowd at Sonoma Raceway as part of a picture-perfect weekend.

It gives the NHRA eight sellout days during its milestone campaign, following capacity crowds in Gainesville, Valdosta, Maryland and Epping in 2026.
