“THE ORIGINAL” FIREBIRD RACEWAY
For more than half a century, Firebird has been the heartbeat of drag racing excitement in western Idaho and beyond. Founded in 1968, our quarter-mile drag strip was built on a simple but powerful belief: world-class motorsports should be thrilling, accessible, and family-friendly.
That vision continues to fuel everything we do today. From late March through mid-October, Firebird comes alive with more than fifty action-packed events each season, welcoming racers and fans from across the country to experience the unmistakable energy of drag racing at its best.
Aligned with the National Hot Rod Association — which celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2026 — Firebird upholds the highest standards of competition, safety, and professionalism. The New family has been honored to steward this facility since its beginning, working alongside a dedicated staff to create what so many recognize as “the Firebird Experience” — a blend of competitive racing, a welcoming atmosphere, and genuine hospitality.
Whether you’re a lifelong racer, a devoted fan, or discovering the sport for the first time, Firebird offers something unforgettable for everyone. We invite you to join us this season and become part of a legacy built on speed, community, and family tradition.
