Byron Dragway
Since its opening day on July 4th, 1964, Byron Dragway has seen just about every star in the sport of 1/4 mile acceleration traverse its famous asphalt strip.

The Manufacturers Funny Car Championship of the 1970s established the track as the place that every touring pro racer had to appear.

For sportsman racers, Byron Dragway is reknowned as the birthplace of Bracket Racing. Every Labor Day the track hosts the U.S. Nationals of Bracket Racing.

In October of each year Byron Dragway holds the Power Wheelstanding Championship. This event has grown over the years to challenge Northern Illinois University Football for the status as the area's largest spectator event.
