Deeznutz Lug Nuts Becomes Contingency Partner of the IHRA for 2025

HEBRON, Ohio — Beginning with the first race of the 2025 IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series, held July 9–12 at Darana Raceway, the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) proudly welcomes Deeznutz Lug Nuts as an official Contingency Partner.

As part of this partnership, racers who run Deeznutz Billet 7075 Aluminum Lug Nuts on all four wheels and display the Deeznutz logo prominently on both sides of their race car will be eligible for contingency payouts at every IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series event in 2025. The program pays a cash prize to the winner and runner-up in all contested classes.

“As a kid growing up in South Jersey, my dad and I went to Atco Dragway every year for the IHRA Summernationals,” said Joe Barszcz, owner of Deeznutz Lug Nuts. “So when I was approached to be a part of the new IHRA, I immediately said ‘Yes!’ — even before the question was finished being asked. I am excited for the opportunity to be a part of the rebirth of the IHRA and look forward to a long relationship with our Deeznutz brand of billet 7075 aluminum lug nuts.”

Made in the USA from aerospace-grade 7075 aluminum, Deeznutz Lug Nuts are precision CNC-machined and available in a variety of finishes, including polished, black, black with machined contrast cut, and gold with machined contrast cut. Their 12-point, reduced-diameter design allows for improved socket clearance in tight wheel pockets, making them a top choice for drag racers, Pro Mods, and custom street builds alike. The company offers lug nuts in multiple seat styles and thread sizes, compatible with most drag racing applications.

To qualify for IHRA contingency payouts, racers must use front and rear sets of Deeznutz Lug Nuts (two sets total), purchased on or after July 1, 2025.

This new partnership builds on the momentum of the IHRA’s 2025 Outlaw Nitro Series and joins a growing list of industry-leading supporters. Hussey Performance, known for its high-performance copper gaskets and precision engine components, is also an official contingency sponsor of the IHRA in 2025. Both brands reinforce IHRA’s commitment to bringing quality back to grassroots drag racing and supporting racers at every level.
