Vintage 1997 NHRA Mopar Nationals Tee (XL) – Englishtown Raceway Park NJ Drag Racing Shirt | 1/4 Mile Memories

Before the shutdown…
before the silence…
Englishtown was loud.

Old Bridge Township Raceway Park wasn’t just another stop—it was one of the most respected strips on the East Coast. Since 1968, it hosted everything from the Springnationals to the Summernationals, building a reputation that made it a must-stop on the NHRA circuit.

By 1997, it was in full stride.

This tee comes from the 28th Annual NHRA Mopar Nationals, part of the Winston Drag Racing Series—and the graphic says everything you need to know.

“NITRO RULES.”

A full send moment captured in color:

• Mopar branding front and center
• Nitro dragster launching off the line
• Sunset tones, bold typography, and layered race graphics
• Old Bridge Township Raceway Park stamped into history

And the weekend backed it up:

• Kenji Okazaki making history in Funny Car
• Gary Scelzi continuing a dominant rookie run
• Pro Stock wars at their peak
• Winners like Darrell Alderman and Cristen Powell locking in their place

This wasn’t just another race—it was part of an era when Englishtown was packed, loud, and pushing the limits… before the gates closed for good in 2018.

The shirt itself?
Faded black, broken in just right, with that perfectly aged feel you can’t replicate.

From our Quarter Mile Memories collection—
this is what the strip looked like at full throttle.
