21st Annual

Aug. 15-18
Brainerd Int’l Raceway
Brainerd Int’l Raceway, which has hosted an NHRA national event since 1982, is where race teams traditionally gear up for the biggest race of the year, the U.S. Nationals. Located in the heart of Minnesota's recreation area, it's the perfect place for racers and their crews to regroup before heading to Indianapolis. Last year, Top Fuel winner Larry Dixon tuned up for his U.S. Nationals win, Dixon's Funny Car teammate, Ron Capps, made team owner Don Prudhomme a double winner again, Bruce Allen ended a nine-year winless skein in Pro Stock, and Antron Brown won his third 2001 Pro Stock Bike race.
