In 2026, the NHRA is commemorating its 75th anniversary with a yearlong celebration of its history. As part of this celebration, the NHRA has unveiled a list of the Top 75 drivers from its first 75 years, a roll call of legends whose achievements have defined and elevated the sport.
Back in 2001, as the NHRA marked its 50th anniversary, a panel of experts gathered to select the 50 greatest drivers in the organization’s early history.

The names on that list — Don Garlits, Don Prudhomme, John Force, Shirley Muldowney, Bob Glidden, Kenny Bernstein and other founding members of the sport – are synonymous with drag racing excellence and formed the foundation for the list.
For 75th anniversary, NHRA recognized that the last quarter-century had produced a new wave of superstar drivers. From 2000 to 2025, the sport evolved in many ways that differentiate it from its first 50 years, so another select group of NHRA experts was convened to expand the original list, carefully evaluating achievements, championships, records, and the impact each driver had on the sport.
