ALL runs from Wednesday-Friday of US Nats will be FREE on YT
 

I worked out a sponsorship with NHRA to stream ALL the qualifying runs and elimination runs from Wednesday-Friday for free on Youtube. You'll see the Sox & Martin logo up during the stream. Hopefully this will let friends and family of yours be able to watch class eliminations. It took awhile to get this negotiated, so hopefully it's a big success!

Here is the press release:

FREE LIVESTREAM, August 27-29 from NHRA U.S. Nationals:
Free live coverage of Sportsman Qualifying, including Class Eliminations and the Sox & Martin? HEMI? Challenge during the Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals
Burlington, NC. (August 19, 2025) --- The legendary Sox & Martin? brand will once again be the presenting sponsor and provide free online coverage of Sportsman qualifying, Stock and Super Stock Class Eliminations, and the Sox & Martin? HEMI? Challenge on NHRA.tv during the 2025 Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals. Now race fans everywhere can tune in starting Wednesday, August 27, for great event coverage from NHRA?s most historic race and view it at no charge online, courtesy of Sox & Martin. The free coverage will conclude on Friday, August 29, after the final round of the Sox & Martin HEMI Challenge. NHRA fans who haven?t signed up for NHRA.tv can watch for free by simply going to https://www.nhra.tv/ and creating a guest account with NHRA.tv. The exciting competition from Indy can also be watched on NHRA?s YouTube channel.
?We saw what a huge success it was last year, as online viewership of the NHRA U.S. Nationals went way up. We wanted once again to offer the livestream for free to these loyal diehard drag racing fans who follow many of their favorite racers competing in the demanding Sportsman classes, especially in the tough heads-up Stock and Super Stock runoffs that drivers work all year for that coveted class win,? said Mike McCandless, CEO of The McCandless Collection, and the legendary Sox & Martin brand.
The 2025 Sox & Martin HEMI Challenge will bring together the country?s quickest and fastest SS/AH cars and will take place Friday, August 29, 2025.

Thank you to the entire McCandless family for this opportunity of viewing the Big Go and especially class eliminations,my plan earlier in the year was to run the U.S. Nationals in stock with our 1970 Cuda 340 in G/SA it would have been my 1st in stock at 68 yrs. old,after starting off the yr.at our 1st Divisional in Arizona with a runner-up in stock, thought i was on my way to my best yr. ever,since that i was handed my butt at every race since,but an opportunity came up about 2 months ago to sell for a very healthy price,but you guessed it and especially now I?m having sellers remorse so I will be glued to the you tube channel that you?ve provided,again thank you so much McCandless family.

I know die hard Stock, super stock racers will grumble a bit at this but we?ve decided to get back to SG and some bracket stuff with a little 1973 Vega,being I?ve flipped flop on these classes my heart is just in the competitiveness of racing in general,but i really love the 60?s & 70?s hot Rod era cars and yes all makes,I just love it all no matter what class and as most of you know my son drives the Kalitta?s Airways TF Dragster so I?ve been at this a long time (1st Wally was in SS/CA 1968 Hemi Road Runner at the 1975 Winternationals that was owned by Russ Mura & Mike Loge)and Jim that?s a thought,funny thing is I told my wife this morning I?m eyeing a few stockers that are for sale as we speak,but if any of you got something good and fast text 7147669535 with info and photos,(I?ll be back) to Stk./SS till my last breath

Thank you Mike it?s very appreciated by those of us home watching and wishing we were there.

I also want to complement Brian and Kevin for the outstanding announcing; their knowledge of class cars and their race commentary is refreshing without the clever dribble.
