Hello, race fans! As we get ready for another exhilarating season of drag racing, we’re thrilled to announce something truly special for John Scotti and the Canadian Drag Racing Hall of Fame. Since 2016, John Scotti has been a proud associate sponsor of NHRA Division 1 Canada. This year, we’ve taken our commitment to the next level by becoming the umbrella sponsor for the NHRA Canadian division. In honour of this new role, the series has been aptly renamed the John Scotti Canadian Championship Series. This name change is not just about branding—it’s about our deep-rooted passion for the sport and our ongoing commitment to nurturing talent across the nation.

This weekend at Toronto Motorsports Park, the inaugural NHRA John Scotti Canadian Championship Series kicks off the NHRA season!

This series marks a significant milestone in Canadian drag racing, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this journey with you.

The 2024 series is set to be ground-breaking with eight categories vying for championship points and cash prizes. These categories include the Top Dragster/Top Sportsman Combo, Stock/Super Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, Motorcycle, and Junior Dragster classes. Whether you’re a fan of the high-octane thrill of Top Dragster racing or the strategic precision of Super Comp, there’s something for everyone.
