The 49th Annual NAPA Auto Parts Ignitor returns to Firebird on May 3-5, 2019. Presented by Peterson Chevrolet, the track’s oldest event is aligned with the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Race Series. The Ignitor is the first point’s race of the season in the Northwest Division.

The Ignitor Opener will feature the drama and excitement of 250 mph AA/Nitro Funny Cars, along with hundreds of racers competing in the opening stop in the Division 6 Lucas Oil Drag Race Series.

The first major event of the 2019 Season is steeped in tradition and prestige. The winner of the inaugural Ignitor was none other than Don “the Snake” Prudhomme with his Hot Wheels Funny Car. Racers will be attending the event from ten western states and three Canadian provinces.
