Anticipated Federal-Mogul Television Schedule

The National Hot Rod Association has released its 2001 NHRA Federal-Mogul Drag Racing divisional schedule. In addition to the divisional schedule, the Federal-Mogul series will be featured at all NHRA national events, with 15 races scheduled to air on ESPN2 on a tape-delay basis.

"The schedule we have finalized will provide the sportsman racer with ample opportunities to collect points towards a national championship," said Tom Compton, president of NHRA. "In addition, Federal-Mogul series races at our national events will enjoy unprecedented television coverage, with a total of 15 races to be aired on ESPN2."

Special efforts were made to assure that all 44 divisional races would not conflict with the national event schedule to make sure all sportsman racers in a particular region could compete in the televised national events.

The Northeast and Pacific divisions will each feature seven divisional races, while the remaining five divisions will have six events each. FMDRS competitions at national events in Pomona, Calif. (February and November), Gainesville, Fla., Houston, Las Vegas (April and November), Atlanta, Englishtown, N.J., Topeka, Kan., Columbus, Ohio, Sonoma, Calif., Indianapolis, Reading, Pa., Chicago (September) and Dallas will be showcased in stand alone television shows. Television schedule times and dates will be announced at a later date.
