Springfield, IL – The World Drag Racing Alliance announced today that the 2025 version of the Summit Sportsman Drag Racing Series World Championships will be moving locations.  The new home for the event will be at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio. 

“We have been discussing the fact that whatever WDRA track hosts the Summit World Championship there will be WDRA racers that will have a bit of a home track advantage,” said WDRA’s Skooter Peaco.  “We felt that we needed to get this event to a neutral site so we decided that Summit Motorsports Park was the obvious choice because both the WDRA program and the NHRA facility are sponsored by Summit Racing Equipment.  Fortunately, Bill Bader Jr. was receptive to hosting the event and we have put together a one weekend track rental agreement for the event to be run in mid-December of 2025.  Summit Motorsports Park is one of the busiest tracks in the country and December was the only month with dates available at reduced track rental rates”.

“Northern Ohio in mid-December will present some unique track prep challenges but I feel confident my team is up for it,” said Summit Motorsports Park’s Bill Bader Jr.  “We may have to get some new attachments for the tractor to clear some snow but we do have a jet dryer so we should be good for anything mother nature throws at us.  I see no reason we can’t get this event in before the Christmas holiday.”

WDRA will release a firm date for the event at the end of this season.
