NHRA Date at Gateway to Move Up By One Week


NHRA announced today that the 2012 return of the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series to Gateway Motor Sports Park near St. Louis will be moved up one week.  The inaugural NHRA Midwest Nationals will take place Sept. 28-30, 2012. 

As a result, the 28th annual Auto-Plus NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway will be held the following week, Oct. 4-7.

Both events remain in the NHRA Full Throttle Countdown to the Championship, NHRA’s six-race playoffs to determine world champions in the Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle categories.   NHRA worked with officials at both tracks to accommodate the request for the date swap, which better suited their individual 2012 season schedules.
