We haven't gotten official confirmation, but we've had enough sources to confirm it's a believable rumor. We are told that a past NHRA champion is expected to return in 2022 with full sponsorship, and race with one of the multi-car teams in existence. We will give you a hint, it's not Top Fuel. 

We are told NHRA is in the final stages of developing a video game to compete with the other forms of motorsports with the intent of creating an I-Racing style simulation presentation. Reportedly NHRA will soon make its announcement in the coming weeks. 

Looks like the NHRA could get a schedule makeover soon. Word has it the Bristol date could end up in Mid-October while Richmond, Seattle and Epping dates are not looking positive due to COVID-19 restrictions. And while Pomona was postponed, there's a growing consensus the traditional season opener in Pomona, could settle into Seattle's place on the schedule during the Western Swing. 

And no, this isn't an April Fools joke either. Our sources are telling us that chances are that the NHRA event in Pomona might not be a go until deep in the summer. With this said, there's significant banter amongst our sources close to the NHRA suggesting the NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, Ca., will be run during the Western Swing if it runs at all. It all makes sense except for one part - keeping the Winternationals branding. 
 

Multiple reliable sources have told CompetitionPlus.com, that the NHRA Winternationals, scheduled to get underway in a couple of weeks, has been postponed to a later date in the year. Reportedly , the Vegas Four-Wide is expected to go forward without a hitch. We are told the NHRA still plans to have 22-events as scheduled. We are told an announcement is coming on Tuesday, March 16, 2021. 

Word out of Sydney Dragway is that long-serving General Manager Peter Beaumont has departed the venue following a board meeting earlier this week.

After a brief flirtation with South Georgia Motorsports Park, multiple sources are telling CompetitionPlus.com the tradition preseason test session for the Professional Racers Organization will return to Palm Beach International Raceway on the weekend before the season-opener in Gainesville, Gla. While the fuelers are running in West Palm Beach, the Pro Stocks and Pro Modifieds will upstate in Orlando, Fla., with the Drag Illustrated World Doorslammer Nationals. 

It was never officially announced as being a stop on the NHRA Camping World tour, but our sources tell us an event which was supposed to happen in Tulsa, Ok., is now not going to happen.Hopefully things will work back into the possibility.
