According to NHRA race car driver Summer Richardson, the sanctioning body has banned her title sponsor. She announced the news in a Facebook post.

Richardson’s primary sponsor is OnlyFans. This online site, which is a subscription service, is commonly used for sexual content.

“My 2025 season was shut down this week by NHRA due to my title sponsor,” Summer Richardson said in the post. “They have banned me as an OnlyFans Sponsored Athlete! I am devastated! As everyone in this sport knows how expensive it is to compete at TAD level and above you need that corporate backing. NHRA has allowed me to run my title sponsor; OnlyFans for 2 years! What is so horrific about the entire thing is how NHRA handled it! I understand the reasoning as to why they did it, but this should have been a warning to me in 2024.

“Shutting down my season 1 month before I’m scheduled to hit the track, with contracts that have been signed for months and funds distributed. Very disheartening. So this being said, as of right now I will not be competing in any NHRA events for the 2025 season. I’m sorry to all my race fans as this has been a devastating blow to me, my family, and the team I was so excited to race with this season.”

We have reached out to the NHRA for comment. However, at this time, we have not heard back from them.

Richardson did not say if this was a temporary ban or a permanent ban. But she said she had been sponsored by them for the last two seasons.

Many of the NHRA teams will kick off their season at the SCAG Power Equipment Pro Shootout in Bradenton Motorsports Park in Bradenton, Florida. Then, the teams officially start the 2025 NHRA tour with the historic Gatornationals from March 6-9 at Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida.
