The NHRA Sonoma Nationals is a drag racing event in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series, that has been held annually at Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, California since 1988.
In 1987, the raceway signed a contract with the National Hot Rod Association for an event that was initially named the California Nationals, set to begin in 1988.[1] NHRA has held National events at Sonoma every year since, with exception for 2020 due to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainty about weather if the event were to be rescheduled to a date later in the year.[2]
