The Flowmaster American Drag Racing League presented by the National Guard today announced its 2008 national event schedule, which features nine events and first-time visits to a number of facilities.

Among the highlights of the schedule are the Hushpower Dragstock V event in Rockingham, N.C. (the ADRL's biggest and oldest event),  the AlphaTrade ADRL World Finals in Ennis, Texas (featuring the ADRL's Battle for the Belts championship eliminators), and the ADRL's first visits to Oklahoma, Michigan, and Maryland.

"With the help of marketing partners such as Flowmaster and the National Guard, the sky is the limit for the future of the ADRL, and I think our 2008 schedule reflects that," ADRL President Kenny Nowling said. "We're coming off a record-setting season for attendance, and I see no reason why that trend would not continue."

The ADRL's 2008 season opens March 7 at Houston Raceway Park and closes Oct. 25 at Texas Motorplex. In between, the ADRL schedule has one national event per month, with the exception of two events scheduled for July.
