You heard it first here on Eatmyink over a week ago: NHRA Drag Racing will resume in mid-July, relaunching its Mello Yello Drag Racing Series and associated programs with events on back-to-back weekends at Lucas Oil Raceway near Indianapolis. The two events will be run on consecutive weeks—July 11-12 with Pro…
Eatmyink has learned that NHRA is checking wth competitors about possibly racing at Lucas Oil Raceway in Brownsburg, Indiana, on the weekends of July 11-12 (with Pro Stock Motorcycle) and 18-19 (without PSM).
