What museum dedicated to NHRA history is located in Pomona, California?

The museum dedicated to NHRA history in Pomona, California, is the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum.

Located at the Fairplex, the museum preserves the history of drag racing, hot rodding, custom cars, motorcycles, speed records, and the people who shaped American motorsports. Its namesake, Wally Parks, founded the National Hot Rod Association in 1951 and helped organize drag racing with standardized rules, safety practices, and national competition.

The museum opened in Pomona in 1998. It displays significant vehicles and artifacts, including historic dragsters, race cars, motorcycles, helmets, photographs, and memorabilia. Exhibits connect technical achievements with the personalities behind them, rather than treating racing history as a collection of machines alone.

A common mix-up is the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing, which is in Ocala, Florida, not Pomona. The Petersen Automotive Museum is also in Southern California, but it focuses broadly on automotive history and design. The Wally Parks museum is the Pomona institution most directly associated with NHRA heritage.
