Motorsport America is in Gainesville, Florida this weekend for the 56th Annual running of the NHRA Amalie Motor Oil Gatornationals!
NHRA Officials had to scramble this weekend, as rain delays have plagued the event this weekend.
Pro Mod Series Update
Due to time constraints on Sunday at Gainesville Raceway, eliminations in the Congruity NHRA Pro Mod Series from the Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals have been moved to the Gerber Collision & Glass Route 66 NHRA Nationals May 15-18 at Route 66 Raceway in Chicago.
Sportsman Update
Due to rain and other issues today, Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series action will be completed at multiple events.
The plan is to finish the Factory Stock Showdown in Gainesville and also try to finish both Top Alcohol classes, along with Stock and Super Gas. If we are unable to finish the latter two, Stock will finish at the Richmond national event and Super Gas at the Bristol event. If Top Alcohol is unable to complete, it will finish at the Charlotte four-wide event.
Comp will finish in Charlotte while Super Comp, Top Dragster, and Top Sportsman are scheduled to complete in Bristol. Super Stock will be completed at the Norwalk national event.
