The new event is one of several exciting changes NHRA announced today as the world’s largest motorsports sanctioning organization revealed its 2010 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series schedule. The state-of-the-art dragstrip in the Charlotte, N.C. metro region will be the setting for two events: one in the spring and one in the fall, with an inaugural event added to the schedule on March 25-28, and the third annual NHRA Carolinas Nationals set for Sept. 16-19. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'">“Charlotte is quickly becoming a motorsports capital in the United States, rivaled only by Indianapolis, and the reception we have received from the fans and the number of major sponsors and teams that use the area as a base lead us to believe that it will provide the market foundation for those two races to evolve into among the two biggest events in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series,” said Tom Compton, president, NHRA. The inaugural race in September last year featured special guests, packed stands and significant corporate hospitality. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'">The 56th Mac Tools U.S. Nationals, Sept. 1-6 at O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis, will represent the first race in the NHRA Full Throttle Countdown to 1, NHRA’s championship playoffs. The Mac Tools U.S. Nationals, the world’s largest and most prestigious drag racing event, is scheduled for its traditional spot on the calendar -- Labor Day weekend. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'">NHRA will kick off the season with a significant milestone event, the 50th Kragen O’Reilly NHRA Winternationals at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona (Feb. 11-14). NHRA will pay tribute to its past throughout what figures to be one of the most memorable and nostalgic race weeks in the sport’s history as many of the legendary cars, drivers and magical moments will be honored. The hot rod culture runs deep in Southern California and its roots deepest at historic Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, where in February of 1961 NHRA founder Wally Parks hosted the first-ever running of the now-historic and iconic Kragen O’Reilly Winternationals. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'">The 2010 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series schedule remains a 24-race schedule. Two events – the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway in Reading, Pa. (Oct. 7-10) and the O’Reilly NHRA Mid-South Nationals in Memphis, Tenn. (Aug. 20-22) – will swap traditional dates. The Memphis event now serves as the last race of the regular season and the final chance for Full Throttle professional teams to secure their positions in the top 10 for the Countdown to 1 playoffs. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'">In addition, the grueling Western Swing will take on a new look in 2010.

Leading into the Western Swing, the schedule will feature four events in a row during the month of June. The United Association Route 66 NHRA Nationals in Chicago (June 3-6) will be followed in consecutive weeks by the United Association NHRA SuperNationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, N.J. (June 10-13); NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway in Bristol, Tenn. (June 18-20); and the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio (June 24-27). The Thunder Valley NHRA Nationals was moved to this stretch in June to accommodate the early-spring Charlotte event. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'">As is tradition, the season concludes right back where it started in Pomona, Calif. with the 46th running of the Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals (Nov. 11-14). The event has become “championship” weekend as most of the NHRA Full Throttle world championships in the four professional categories have been crowned at the event since the beginning of the playoff-style format in 2007. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'arial'">Events that round out the early part of the season include the NHRA Arizona Nationals at Firebird International Raceway in Phoenix (Feb. 26-2<img src="http://www.sdmfworldwide.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />; the 41st annual NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla.
