“The Street Rod Nationals is not just an event, it’s an experience,” said Joan Kranovich, vice president of Business Growth and director of Sports QC at Visit Quad Cities. “It’s a high-impact activation that adds fuel to our tourism economy while revving up pride across the community.”
Tickets are $20 each for adults; $6 for children ages 6 to 12; free for children ages 5 and under; and a family package (two adults and three kids 12 and under) for $45.
Discounted tickets are available at any O’Reilly Auto Parts store. Also, there is an $18 admission for military personnel (with ID), discounts for NSRA members (with card), and discounts for people over 60.
“This is more than just a car show, it’s a celebration of American tradition, craftsmanship, and community,” Dave Herrell, Visit QC’s president and CEO, added. “We’re honored to welcome NSRA back to the Quad Cities, and we invite both locals and visitors to be part of what’s becoming a signature annual event that fuels our regional tourism economy.”
