The 28th Annual dB Drag Racing Finals came to life October 11–12, 2025, across three synchronized venues in Birmingham, AL; Fresno, CA; and Spruce Grove, AB. With 134 participants, a coast-to-coast judging crew, and a global livestream on dBTV.com, this year’s Finals pushed boundaries and bass in every direction.
Coordinating three live events was no small feat—but the precision, passion, and camaraderie from every team made it a weekend to remember. Saturday’s regional titles culminated in head-to-head Term-LAB matchups, with the grand finale delivering a 5-minute DEMO STYLE Deathmatch sponsored by Kicker. The win went to Team Sundown Wally, who averaged a stout 155.4 dB and took home the $1000 prize.
From milestone achievements to new world records, this year’s Finals honored the past, celebrated the present, and raised the bar for what’s possible in competitive car audio.
