The Red Line Oil Professional Drag Racers Association Drag Racing Series burst on to the scene in 2014 has continued to gain traction with drivers, car owners and fans alike, while offering a competitive stage for racers of all ages and skill levels.

The series celebrated 10 years of action in 2023 and added Red Line Oil as a primary sponsor in 2024. More growth and changes ahead of the upcoming 2025 season could mean the most exciting PDRA season yet.

The eight-event PDRA Drag Racing Series schedule for 2025 kicks off April 2-5 with the Summit Racing PDRA East Coast Nationals presented by FuelTech at the GALOT Motorsports Park in Benson, North Carolina. 

All of the PDRA action this season will be broadcast live on FloRacing – 1/8 of a mile at a time!

Those participating on the opening weekend in North Carolina will have the chance to test things out and shake off any rust Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning, with official qualifying getting underway early Thursday afternoon. 

Check out the complete schedule for the event below.

Heading into the new Red Line Oil PDRA Drag Racing Series campaign, drivers and teams can look forward to competing for increased payouts, new sponsors and more, announced during a special PDRA press event at the Performance Racing Industry Show in December. 

The overall championship payouts have been increased by more than $100,000, with $25,000 awarded to the champions in the top-tier Pro Nitrous and Pro Boost categories. In all, team will be competing for nearly $200,000 in PDRA world championship prizes.
