NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

NHRA’s North Central Division has announced a multiyear agreement with American RV of Evansville, Ind., to present the Equal-i-zer Sway Control Hitches Top Dragster and Top Sportsman Shootout and Low Qualifier programs. The North Central Division Oakley Motorsports Top Dragster and Top Sportsman classes have delivered some of the quickest and fastest fields in the country.

This program will award $200 to the low qualifier in Oakley Top Dragster and Oakley Top Sportsman at the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series events at Summit Motorsports Park, National Trail Raceway, Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, Beech Bend Raceway Park, and World Wide Technology Raceway. 

Competitors will earn points from their final qualifying positions for the shootout to be held during the doubleheader at World Wide Technology Raceway in October.  We will have separate shootouts for both classes at this event for the top 8 points earners of the Equal-i-zer Sway Control Hitches Top Dragster and Top Sportsman Shootout.  The winner of each class receives $1,000 and the runner-up $500.  Semifinalists will receive $250.  

Points will be awarded based of final qualifying in both Top Dragster and Top Sportsman with the #1 qualifier earning 32 points down to the No. 32 qualifier, who will earn 1 point. 

“The North Central Division would like to thank JB and Torrie Strassweg along with American RV of Evansville, Ind.,” said Division Director William Tharpe. “We would also like to thank Equal-i-zer Sway Control Hitches for supporting the North Central Division with this unique opportunity to bring a level of excitement back to the Oakley Motorsports Top Dragster and Top Sportsman classes 2024.”
