56th edition of the largest and most prestigious drag race in the world! The adjectives come easy for this motorsports tradition. Each Labor Day weekend, NHRA racers and fans descend on O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis for the biggest, oldest, richest and most prestigious drag race in the world.

This year's event features the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series and drivers such as Larry Dixon, John Force, Mike Edwards and Andrew Hines as they battle for the most coveted win of the season. Tony Schumacher, Ashley Force Hood, Jeg Coughlin Jr. and Hector Arana are the defending event champs.

The fabled ORP quarter-mile, site of many of drag racing's greatest moments, is regarded by many as one of the smoothest on the circuit, an appropriate staging ground for some of the season's most eagerly sought championships. The marathon also hosts two high-dollar bonus events: the $100,000-to-win Skoal Showdown for Funny Cars and the Ringers Gloves Pro Bike Battle, which pays $25,000 to the winning Pro Stock Motorcycle rider.

Some of the drivers expected to compete are: Del Worsham (Al-Anabi Funny Car), Robert Hight (Auto Club Ford Mustang), Ashley Force Hood (Castrol GTX Ford Mustang), Antron Brown (Matco Tools Dragster), Rod Fuller (Abu Dhabi Top Fuel dragster), Morgan Lucas (GEICO Powersports / Lucas Oil dragster), Shawn Langdon (Dixie Chopper / Lucas Oil dragster), Hector Arana (Lucas Oil Buell), Bob Tasca III (Motorcraft / Quick Lane Ford Shelby Mustang), Andrew Hines (Scream'Eagle Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson), Eddie Krawiec, Scream' Eagle Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson), Larry Dixon (Al-Anhabi Top Fuel Dragster), Doug Kalitta (DeWalt/Stanley/Mac Tools Top Fuel Dragster), John Force (Castrol GTX High Mileage Ford Mutang), Jack Beckman (Valvoline / Mail Terminal Services Dodge Charger), Ron Capps (NAPA Auto Parts Dodge Charger), Matt Hagan (DieHard Dodge Charger), Tony Schumacher (U. S. Army dragster), Cory McClenathan (FRAM dragster) and Cruz Pedregon (Snap-On Tools Toyota Camry).
