NHRA Drag Racing Done in Denver After 2023 Mile-High Nationals? Don’t Believe It

Bandimere family is selling storied dragstrip but planning to build elsewhere a new facility about 10 times larger.

According to an article the Denver Post published Wednesday, Bandimere Speedway owners plan to build not far away a new dragstrip that could open in 2025.

NHRA fans have seen four dragstrips disappear from the landscape since 2018, Virginia Motorsports Park opt out of the Camping World Drag Racing Series, and Route 66 Raceway, near Chicago, drop off the schedule for several years and come back this May. Gone are Old Bridge Township Raceway Park at Englishtown, N.J.; Atlanta Dragway at Commerce, Ga.

While Bandimere acknowledged that “there’s no question—this will be the last year here,” he gave drag-racing fans the promise of a brand-new facility, which would be the first for the NHRA tour since the late Bruton Smith opened zMAX Dragway at Concord, N.C., in 2008. The target date for that to be operational is 2025, according to the article.
