Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park (AZ) to Close After 2023 NHRA Race

The Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler, Arizona, has announced that the 2023 NHRA race will serve as the final event for the facility. The park will celebrate its 40th year of NHRA racing during next year’s Arizona Nationals.

The park features four race tracks, including a 1/4-mile, NHRA-sanctioned drag strip; a 1.6-mile road course; a 10-turn, 1.25-mile road course; and a 1.1-mile road course with a 0.375-mile straightaway. It also features a 2.4-mile IHBA- and APBA-sanctioned oval lake.

A new overpass roadway for an I-10 extension will utilize the space now occupied by the track. 

“Arizona has been an incredible supporter of the NHRA and Wild Horse Pass Motorsport Park for the past four decades, and we are very grateful for this tremendous fan support. We know this final race will be a celebration that NHRA fans are famous for,” said Elizabeth Antone, WHPDA General Manager-Interim.
