For two decades the Nitto Tire NMRA World Finals has forged itself into the history of Beech Bend Raceway – something that isn’t easy to do considering the history attached to the track. Yet, every Ford drag racing enthusiast knows exactly what happens at the end of September each year in Bowling Green, Ky., simply put, it’s the Finals — one of drag racing’s great events. Where legends are born and championships won. There is only one NMRA and there is only one Beech Bend Raceway, and this year the two once again will join September 28th-30th to end the second decade of NMRA history.
What helps make the World Finals the spectacle it is is the combination of the regular NMRA classes, along with the huge assortment of other special classes and events, and this year the NMRA has added even more!
Joining the NMRA regulars will be the WELD Racing Cobra/Terminator vs. Shelby GT500 Shootout , showcasing some of the fastest SVT-produced Ford Mustangs in the country. If turbocharged Coyote-powered Mustangs are your thing, then you’ll not want to miss the Turbo Coyote Shootout presented by Hellion Turbo, featuring some of the lands quickest and fastest Coyotes. Topping off these two special events will be a special runoff between the winner of each.
Returning this year will be ididit ZP Performance Steering Outlaw True Street – a class, which gives the fastest of the fast true street cars a shot at bragging rights after proving their street worthiness.
If for you, real racing means three pedals, check out the TREMEC Stick Shift Shootout for True Street racers to determine who has the fastest street driven, manually shifted Mustang in the U.S.
