Wasn't sure I would ever see the day that The Sports would return home to Bowling Green. For you young racers out there, this was a tremendous race back in the day. Hoping for great weather on Memorial Day weekend 2016.

It is good to see the race back at Beech Bend. The only problem I see is a race 3 weekends in a row. Nowalk, Beech Bend, and then RT 66. I will probably skip the race, it is very difficult to win the National Tittle for a little guy like me. But I will definetly considerate it. Steve Williams, S/G

The 1976 Sportsnationals @ Beech Bend was where I got hooked on drag racing as a teenager.

From that day on, when I heard " NHRA Sportsnationals " I would automatically think Bowling Green.

I'm just guessing that this is no longer a national open so the 1.2 under rule is in effect?

I assume that is Memorial Day. I am going fishing. I have been fishing a tournament with the same guys for 28 years, and I'm going again.

This will be a special race. For you younger guys that have no memory of the Sportsnationals back in the 70's and 80's, this was the best race of the year next to Indy. Anyone that has a sense of history should come.

Looks like your guess is correct Jeff.

Looks like my tradition of trying to set National records on Memeorial day weekend is over.

Copy n paste from their site:

" The JEGS SPORTSnationals, the premier standalone event in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, will continue to be a national event with national points being awarded for all classes except Super Street, which will earn divisional championship points. New in 2016, all racers will receive an NHRA national event grade point for attending the race."
