Build confidence
Open layouts, useful seat time, and a community that welcomes drivers who want to grow.
Northwest Arkansas drifting
Seat time.Community.
Approachable drift events built for drivers, spectators, and a full day close to the action.
The DriftNWA experience
Room to learn.
Room to send it.
Room to compete.
Many DriftNWA events take place on large, open asphalt or concrete surfaces. That gives drivers room to learn, push, and link without the pressure of a traditional course.
The format is approachable, social, and centered on seat time—with plenty happening on and off the driving surface throughout the day. Every DriftNWA event also features a live DJ playing music and helping keep the energy going.
For drivers ready to compete, our signature 235 Jackpot Competition brings head-to-head competition, with cash payouts for the top three finishers and additional sponsor prizes.
Stay close
Bring chairs and shade, watch from the lawn, visit the food trucks, and keep the action front and center.
Enter the pits
A pit pass lets fans meet drivers and, when arranged with a driver, experience a ride-along.

Drake Field
Built for a full day out.
Our Drake events run on a pristine concrete surface with full concrete pits in a convenient in-town Fayetteville location. Hotels, restaurants, and parts stores are nearby, while spectators can enjoy wide views from the grass lawn, bring chairs and pop-up shade, grab food from event-day food trucks, and listen to music from a live DJ. Pit passes are also available for fans who want to get closer to the drivers and cars.
