Qualifying will take place on Friday and Saturday during each national event, with eliminations held on Sunday.

“Our Screamin' Eagle Nitro Harley racers and teams are excited to put on a great show at these select NHRA events," said Anne Paluso, manager of Harley-Davidson Racing. “NHRA fans love the raw power and pure American performance of these Nitro-burning Harleys.”

AHDRA President Craig Tharpe said his group is grateful to be included in the NHRA program.

"It gives us a chance to showcase our exciting sport in front of an expanded demographic of fans," Tharpe said. "We hope that they will find the extreme sport of Nitro Harley racing to be a great experience and check out other AHDRA events in the future."
