Racer Media & Marketing will cover all facets of the IHRA throughout the year, with a dedicated page on RACER.com, weekly newsletters and social media content. The IHRA season consists of sportsman and professional drag racing from February until October, and culminates with sportsman team finals and a championship event for both sportsman and professional racers at the end of the year. The relationship will reintroduce motorsports fans to the sport of drag racing and give insight into the international series with lifestyle pieces, event coverage, feature articles, and segments about the history of the IHRA.
