NHRA officials announced earlier this week that due to the fluid nature of the pandemic national evets in June and July have been postponed. Those events are the AMALIE Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals on June 5-7 (Gainesville, FL); Mopar Express Lane NHRA SpringNationals Presented by Pennzoil on June 12-14 (Houston, TX); NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals on June 19-21 (Bristol, TN); Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals on June 26-28 (Norwalk, OH); Route 66 NHRA Nationals on July 9-12 (Chicago, IL); Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals Presented By Pennzoil on July 17-19 (Denver, CO); and NHRA Sonoma Nationals on July 24-26 (Sonoma, CA).
The national events are expected to resume in August and will consist of 18 total events for 2020, including the two that kicked off the season. The Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series will continue to be contested at each Mello Yello Series event. The Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series will be contested Friday-Sunday, except for the U.S. Nationals which will be contested Thursday-Sunday.
As officials work to build the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series regional/divisional schedule careful consideration is being taken on the 2020 points structure as well as grade point considerations for 2021. At this time no final decisions have been made. Once those decisions have been made an announcement will follow.
