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.

The word floating around the nitro pits is there’s a crew chief change coming for one of the prominent teams. The rumor mill suggests one Rookie of the Year crew chief has been released, in turn to be replaced by another Rookie of the Year crew chief. Our sources tell us the move will be announced at the beginning of 2021.

One would expect Jeggie Coughlin or Bo Butner to end up bracket racing, but word comes to us that another Pro Stock driver will try his hand at the big money bracket races. Apparently, Vincent Nobile, from what we've heard, has gone all-in by purchasing a toter-home and a trailer big enough to carry multiple dragsters. He will have a teammate, we are told as well. 

Word has it that a crew whose program ended at the end of the 2020 season will pack their bags and head a few buildings over to Cruz Pedregon Racing for 2021. We are told this move could be finalized as early as tomorrow.
