Race Ready
The NMRA announces its event lineup for the 2017 Ford drag racing season
By Steve Turner

In a matter of weeks this year’s NMRA Ford Nationals season will wrap up with the World Finals in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Champions will be crowed, records will be set and, suddenly, as the race comes to an end, withdrawal symptoms will set in for racers and fans alike. Don’t fret, however, as the NMRA is already giving you something to look forward to—a full schedule of racing events for next year.

The 2017 season will start and finish at the same locations it did this year and hit some familiar spots along the way. There will again be two combined races with the NMRA’s sister sanctioning body, the NMCA. The first will take place in April at Atlanta Dragway and the second will run in July at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois.

“Our hugely popular Spring Break Shootout is established as a destination event for thousands of Ford fans across the country,” General Manager, Rollie Miller, said. “We’re thrilled to return to Bradenton, Florida as well as locations like Maple Grove, Pennsylvania and Bowling Green, Kentucky, where the NMRA fans and racers are eager to see us in 2017.”

Here’s a look at the full NMRA Ford National racing schedule for 2017…
