**NMRA and NMCA Cease Motorsport Production Amid Industry Challenges**
In a surprising announcement, the National Mustang Racers Association (NMRA) and the National Muscle Car Association (NMCA) have jointly decided to cease production of their motorsport events, citing significant industry challenges and a changing landscape in motorsports. The decision, deemed “difficult but necessary,” reflects the organizations’ commitment to sustainability and financial viability.
Both associations have faced increasing operational costs, declining participation, and a shift in consumer interests over recent years. Despite efforts to adapt to evolving trends, including the introduction of electric vehicle categories and grassroots programs, the financial strain proved insurmountable.
“After careful consideration and extensive discussions with stakeholders, we recognized that the current environment is not conducive to the continuation of our events,” said NMRA President, Chris Galloway. “This decision, while heartbreaking for many, is aimed at preserving the legacy of muscle car racing for future generations.”
The NMRA and NMCA have pledged to support their community by providing resources for racers looking to transition to other forms of motorsport. They also plan to maintain their commitment to showcasing classic American muscle cars through digital platforms and virtual events.
As the motorsport landscape evolves, both organizations remain hopeful for future collaborations that could revive the spirit of competition in new and innovative ways. Fans and racers alike are encouraged to stay connected as they navigate this transition.
