INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The race to determine the title of “Fastest Street Car in America” is back as HOT ROD Drag Week 2024 Presented by Gear Vendors returns to premier tracks in four Midwest cities Sunday, Sept. 15 through Friday, Sept. 20.

The world’s toughest competition to find the ultimate street-legal drag car, HOT ROD Drag Week puts competitors through a grueling test over five days of action-packed drag racing, requiring racers to drive their vehicles on a specified route from city to city, approximately 1,000 miles, while securing the quickest possible elapsed time across the five days. During the competition, drivers provide photographic evidence to prove they have adhered to the prescribed route. Some of the nation’s top racers participate in Drag Week each year, and it’s not uncommon for competitors to band together to help each other get through the week.

We are so excited to celebrate 20 years of HOT ROD Drag Week in 2024, delivering an unparalleled experience that keeps getting better and better with each passing year, ” said HOT ROD’s editor-in-chief John McGann. “As we gear up for this extra special anniversary, anticipation is running high, and we can’t help but reflect on the incredible memories and milestones that have shaped Drag Week over two decades.”
