This format ensures that any driver could potentially face any other driver in the first round, keeping fans on the edge of their seats and adding to the thrill of the competition.

The event will also feature a fan-favorite Top Fuel versus Funny Car Chicago Style race, pitting the fastest and most powerful dragsters against the quickest and most agile funny cars. This unique matchup between different classes of cars is not typically seen in traditional drag racing events, further enhancing the fan experience.



In addition to the high-stakes competition on the track, the SCAG PRO Superstar Shootout will offer a fan-friendly atmosphere, with autograph sessions, driver Q&As, and additional entertainment elements. The event will also feature a closing concert headlined by American Rebel CEO Andy Ross and the American Rebel band, adding to the festive and engaging environment.
