John Scotti Canadian Championship Series

NHRA’s Northwest Division has announced that the 2025 John Scotti Canadian Championship will be expanding with a six-race series to Western Canada. The events will be held during the Canadian National Opens at Mission Raceway Park (June 14-15), M.H.D.R.A Dragstrip (July 5-6), and Rad Torque Raceway (July 12-13). Each weekend will contain two separate events.

Racers will compete for championships in eight categories: Top Comp (eighth-mile, 5.30 max dial), Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, Stock/Super Stock Combo, Sportsman Motorcycle, Junior Thunder, and Junior Lightning. Racers will claim their best five out of six events towards their point totals. Champions will be celebrated with Wallys and jackets during the Northwest Division banquet in January 2026.

The John Scotti Canadian Championship Series launched in 2024 with a successful 12-race series in Eastern Canada with events across Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.

“After a successful debut last year in Eastern Canada, we are looking forward to starting up the series in our division and seeing it grow,” said Northwest Division Director Mike Eames. “Racers want more opportunities to win championships, and this gives them just that.”
We are proud to bring the John Scotti Championship to western Canada,” said John Scotti. “Racers from coast to coast can now compete in our own ‘Made in Canada’ series.”
