5th Annual Nitto Tire NMRA World Finals September 25th through the 28th – Beech Bend Raceway Bowling Green, KY

In only three weeks the top NMRA Ford Nationals competitors will meet at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Kentucky for the 5th Annual Nitto Tire NMRA World Finals, presented by 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords magazine. Bowling Green is consistently one of the biggest street-legal races in the world, as last-ditch efforts are made to secure coveted NMRA championships. Bowling Green not only draws all the top racers in the country, but the old-school covered grandstands will be packed to the rafters with spectators. Those folks are there to see the wicked Ford heads-up action. Come witness for yourself the world’s fastest 10.5-inch- tire freak show, MSD Super Street Outlaw, running in the high-7- second zone at 180+ mph. At the 5th Annual Nitto Tire NMRA World Finals, NMRA Jet-Hot drag racing is not limited to only the professionals. The NMRA will be bringing its famous Fire Control Wild Street competition to the Beech Bend track. Wild Street is designed to let the average person with a street-legal car experience the quarter-mile. All you need is a license, current proof of insurance, and current car registration. All of the cars make a 30-mile drive and follow it with 3 consecutive passes. As an additional perk, all Wild Street drivers get a free Bracket entry on Sunday.

Make sure you bring your family and friends to Beech Bend to enter the NMRA Auto Show Spectacular, presented by Dallas Mustang Parts, which will feature every model Ford car and truck imaginable. A huge vendor midway that will stretch as far as the eye can see, along with an amusement park just a stones throw away from the track.
