Twelve Race Tracks and Motorsport Facilities Acquired by Darryl Cuttel and the IHRA Go Up For Auction – Updates on Two Tracks Being Acquired, and the Latest on What the Future Holds for These Tracks!

The International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) has been through a lot in the last ten years, starting with an all-bracket racing format approach in 2018, then being acquired by Larry Jeffers in August of 2022. In December of 2024, the owner of Larry Jeffers Race Cars would sell the IHRA to Darryl Cuttell.

Starting in March of 2025, Cuttell and the IHRA announced that they would be acquiring seven motorsports facilities, and the list of tracks would expand to over a dozen by the summer of 2026.

When the IHRA started to cut back on events and programs within a few months of their final track acquisition, some figured the bad news might also be coming in the form of the tracks being closed or sold, with the latter meaning they could be possibly cease operating as a race track.

Now, we have further details on the fate of twelve tracks (eleven of them with a drag strip on the property), and the fate of a couple may have already been decided.
