ProMedia Events and Publishing, parent company of the Holley NMRA Ford Nationals and NMCA Muscle Car Nationals, in association with Atlanta Dragway’s parent company NHRA, have decided to postpone the NMRA/NMCA All-Star Nationals in response to growing restrictions on group gatherings and travel due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Racing will not take place this weekend at Gainesville, after NHRA postponed the 51st annual Gatornationals pro divisions. Racing is taking place today in Lucas Oil Sportsman contests, but the Mello Yello Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro StockMotorcycle, Pro Mod, Factory Stock Showdown, Top Fuel Harley, Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car will compete at a later date, yet to be determined
Most people are looking at the results from this past weekend’s NHRA Arizona Nationals at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park and focusing on the return of Steve Torrence.
As the warriors of the NHRA raced into the second race of the all-new 2020 race season, three hard-working drivers brought the heat at a track known for some of the best drag racing in the desert.
On the Thursday before NHRA’s season starting Mello Yello Lucas Oil Winternationals race on Auto Club Raceway at Pomona’s dragstrip, it would be fair to think Jack Beckman wouldn’t repeat his season-closing victory last November.
