UPDATE (08/10/20) The 6th race of the 2020 season, the NHRA Southern Nationals, scheduled for August 28-30 at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, GA, has been cancelled as shown on nhra.com. I thought this might happen since there was no mention of this event during the television broadcast yesterday. As of right now, the next scheduled event shown on nhra.com is the Denso Spark Plugs U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis. Keep checking http://www.nhra.com/events/entrylist03.aspx for an updated entry list.
I WILL POST FURTHER UPDATES AS SOON AS ANY NEWS SHOWS UP ON nhra.com. Get your picks posted and GOOD LUCK!
