NHRA Youth Program to Host 15 Live Events, 2 Pilot Programs in 2024
The NHRA Youth and Education Services (YES) Program will host 15 live events and six virtual programs during the 2024 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.
The NHRA YES Program will also hold two "Pilot Program" events during the 2024 season at a pair of NHRA Member Tracks: April 15 at Kansas International Dragway in Wichita, Kansas, and May 17 at Toronto Motorsports Park, in Cayuga, Ontario, Canada. The pilot program events will allow the two NHRA Member Tracks to host YES Programs for local schools in the community.
The YES Program invites students to NHRA national events to observe career chances within the motorsports field, while the pilot programs offer those same opportunities at tracks without a national event.
In 2023, the YES Program hosted more than 31,000 students at tracks across the country.
