SONOMA, Calif. -- Infineon Raceway will feature nearly 50 days of drag racing during the 2012 Big O Tires Racing Season, highlighted by the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series.

The world-famous drag strip, considered one of the quickest and fastest in the country, will host 48 days of drag racing in all.

The 25th annual NHRA Sonoma Nationals takes center stage, July 27-29, when the fastest-accelerating machines on the planet will reach speeds in excess of 320 mph on the Sonoma Valley drag strip. The weekend will feature racing in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle.

The NHRA Division 7 Drag Races, presented by Korbel, will kick off back-to-back weekends of drag racing, when the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series returns the weekend prior to the national event, July 20-22.

Infineon Raceway will also host two annual programs for drag racing fans: the STP Summit ET Bracket Drag Racing Series and the raceway's popular STP Wednesday Night Drags program, which enters its 24th season in 2012. The 12-race STP Summit ET Bracket Drag Racing Series season kicks off on Jan. 8, while the STP Wednesday Night Drags program runs March 7-Nov. 14.

The Top the CopsT program, which gives high school students the opportunity to drag race against local law enforcement officers, will run from April through August in conjunction with the STP Wednesday Night Drags.
