33rd Annual

May 16-19
Old Bridge Township Raceway Park
Only Indianapolis Raceway Park, Pomona Raceway, and National Trail Raceway in Columbus have been around longer than Englishtown, N.J.'s Old Bridge Township Raceway Park, site of the Matco Tools SuperNationals presented by Racing Champions. Formerly known as the Summernationals and held each July from 1971 to 1992, the event was moved to May in 1993, a change designed to take advantage of cooler, less humid spring weather. Last year, Kenny Bernstein's Top Fuel win was the first of three straight, Tony Pedregon ended a six race slump to win Funny Car, Richie Stevens won Pro Stock from the No. 15 qualified spot, and Matt Hines won Pro Stock Bike in his fourth straight final of the year.
