Now we all get a weekend off to rest and study up because the third of six events in seven weeks, the 13th race of the 2021 season, the Dodge//SRT NHRA U.S. Nationals is scheduled for September 1-5, at Indianapolis Raceway Park in Indianapolis, IN.
As always, your picks need to be posted before Pro Qualifying starts. The first of 3 Pro Qualifying sessions is scheduled to begin at 6:30PM EDT (3:30PM PDT) on Friday, September 3, and will be shown on FS1 starting at 7:00PM EDT (4:00PM PDT). There will also be two additional rounds of Pro Qualifying on Sunday, September 4.
Are you ready to return to full fields of all four Pro classes? There are currently 19 Top Fuel, 20 Funny Car, 20 Pro Stock and 19 Pro Stock Motorcycle entries for this race event but that is always subject to change.
Also, watch for an upcoming post about a change to Round win scoring for this event.
And don't forget, just like NHRA our game points are going to reset after the U.S. Nationals to tighten up the standings and make the 2021 playoff events more competitive. That will also get explained in a future post if you're new to the game.
Get your picks posted and GOOD LUCK!
