On Labor Day Weekend 1975, Byron Dragway became the birthplace of big money bracket racing with the inaugural running of the U.S. Bracket Nationals.

Today, big money bracket races take place in all corners of the country and at all times of the year.

But there is only ONE FIRST.

There is only ONE LONGEST RUNNING big money bracket race.

And it’s the 51st Annual U.S. Bracket Nationals, September 4-7, 2026 on the same hallowed ground of Byron Dragway in Byron, Illinois.
