SPORTSMAN CLASS DETAILS ANNOUNCED FOR
WORLD SERIES OF DRAG RACING, AUGUST 26-29

The O'Reilly Auto Parts World Series of Drag Racing is known for the great professional racing and show, but also pays homage to the tradition that started it all over 57 years ago, crowning the best of sportsman drag racing in true open event competition.
