DALLAS (September 10, 2025) — The playoffs aren’t just for the drivers. As the NHRA Countdown to the Championship blasts off this weekend at the NHRA Reading Nationals, fans of Drag Race Bracket Bonanza (DRBB) will also begin their own championship chase with the launch of the free game’s third annual Countdown series.
The DRBB Countdown series runs across the final six NHRA national events of the season, combining player point totals to crown the ultimate bracket champion. At the conclusion of the season in Pomona, the top three finishers will receive one of the game’s most sought-after prizes, an iconic wrestling-style Countdown championship belt, personally signed by all four NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series world champions.

“This is the third year in a row for the DRBB Countdown series, and I get more excited about it every season,” said DRBB creator Elon Werner. “We wanted to give our players something that mirrors the intensity of the NHRA Countdown to the Championship, and there’s nothing cooler than a giant wrestling-style belt autographed by all four world champs. It’s bragging rights, it’s a trophy and it’s the ultimate fan prize all rolled into one. The belts have truly become a fan-favorite tradition, and they’re all for playing a game that is completely free.”
Player engagement and competition has grown exponentially since the Countdown prize belts were introduced when DRBB launched in 2023. Since then, over 200 plaques, trophies and other prizes have been awarded to players in 43 different states and at least 6 countries outside of the U.S.
