Earning the award for the first time in the track's 41-year history, the Firebird facility was also recognized for winning the Division 6 Summit E.T. Finals over 19 Northwest tracks this past Labor Day weekend and the National Dragster Contributor of the Year award.
Four Idaho drag racers also were highlighted for scoring Division 6 year-end titles including: Meridian's Aaron McCoy in Sport Compact, Meridian's Ed Cutler in Super Pro, Nampa's Derric Barr in Super Pro and Eagle's Courtney Alley in High School. All four drivers won NHRA Northwest titles.
