FAIRFIELD, OH (July 11, 2025) — Beginning with the opening round of the 2025 IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series, July 9–12 at Darana Raceway in Hebron, Ohio, the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) is proud to welcome Hussey Performance as an official Contingency Partner.

Through this new partnership, racers who use Hussey Performance products and display the company’s logo on both sides of their race car will be eligible for contingency payouts at all IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series events in 2025. Contingency awards include cash to event winners and runners-up in all contested classes.

“We're thrilled to partner with the IHRA as a contingency sponsor for the 2025 season and to be part of the exciting resurgence of such a legendary sanctioning body,” said David Allen, Owner of Hussey Performance. “Here at Hussey Performance, we've always been committed to supporting racers—from snowmobiles to Top Fuel—with American-made gaskets that deliver precision, durability, and performance.

This partnership is our way of giving back to the racing community that continues to put their trust in us both on and off the track. Being based in Beaver Falls, PA, we're proud to be local to the heart of IHRA country—just a few hours from the majority of tracks on this year's schedule. It means a lot to be able to show up, shake hands, and support the racers face-to-face. We're proud to be on board and can’t wait to kick things off at National Trail Raceway this weekend.”

The 2025 IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series season officially launched this week at Darana Raceway, with action beginning Wednesday featuring IHRA Pro-Am and Pro class competition. The event continues through Saturday with the first round of Outlaw Nitro action—headlined by Top Fuel, Funny Car, and more.
