Irvington, Alabama's US 90 Dragway has joined the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) as a Division 2 Track in the Southeast region.
Seasoned race promoter Charlie Lyons has taken over ownership of the track, re-branding it to US 90 Dragway with a number of facility upgrades. Lyons runs daily operations with his son, Kody Lyons, who is classified as the track operator and co-owner.
"We are very excited on becoming an NHRA member track because of the history behind the NHRA, and what the NHRA means among the families that race and watch on a daily basis,” Kody Lyons said. “We are looking forward to providing an enjoyable family atmosphere at our track, with the hope of growing every genre of racing in the years to come.”
A staple in the Alabama racing community, the track was opened as Mobile International Dragway in 1985 but was later shortened to Mobile Dragway. The track was built near the half-mile paved oval called Mobile International Speedway.
NHRA-sanctioned tracks are eligible to offer racers a variety of NHRA racing opportunities, including the NHRA Summit Racing Series, the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League, NHRA Jr. Street and the NHRA Drags: Street Legal Style presented by AAA. Additionally, the tracks have the opportunity to host NHRA’s specialty events where racers compete for the coveted Wally trophy.
Racers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, and Tennessee make up the NHRA Division 2 category. For more information, including schedules, point standings, and more, go to the Division 2 website, NHRADiv2.com.
