Presented By:

Sunday

The 2014 Avenal Sand Drags Spring race wrapped up on Sunday with an excellent day eliminations action. In the Top Alcohol class, Gary Mink made it happen again as he won the Top Alcohol class defeating David Morton in the final round 2.50 to 2.59. Paul Graham and “The Excavator” Buggy emerged victorious in the Top Eliminator class running a 3.03 in the final to defeat Jim Rossi. It was a special moment on Sunday as both of the late Clayton Record’s Jeeps took class wins in their first events with new owners as Kenny Hayes won Pro 1 and Chris Adamson won Pro 2. The Adamson domination continued as Justin backed up his Saturday Pro Gambler win with the Pro 3 class victory. Sonny Fricia topped a tough Motorcycle Pro 1 category while Jack Vandigriff turned on the win light in the final of Motorcycle Pro 2. Other winners on the day included Brian Chapman (Sport Gambler), Paul May (Pro 4), Levi Graham (Juniors), Rowdy May (Kids), and Jesse Wallis (Youth). A big thank you goes out to the Avenal Sand Drags crew for prepping a great track all weekend & running an extremely smooth race program. *Run Sheets are now posted.*

The Pro Truck Nationals (PTN) Season Opener is just around the corner at the PTN Heartland Nationals at Atoka Motorsports Park in Atoka, OK on May 23-25. Read on to view the latest updates on the 2014 PTN race schedule as there was a change due to the recent closing of Big River Sand Drags in Bonne Terre, MO.

The 2014 Pro Truck Nationals (PTN) series is excited to hit the track for a new season of racing. Unfortunately, there have been some changes to the PTN schedule & series for the 2014 race season. Everyone was looking forward to Race 2 at Big River Sand Drags in Bonne Terre, MO. PTN was recently informed by track ownership that the facility has been sold and will no longer be a sand drag track. Big River Sand Drags has a rich history of PTN action and we are saddened by this news, but we wish the best to the Merseal Family in their future endeavors and thank them for their service to the sport.

Pat Norris Racing Dome Valley Testing Update

2014-04-01T10:31:18+00:00

Dome Valley Testing Update: We received a note from Marcus Norris on their testing at Dome Valley Saturday. The Pat Norris Racing Team Top Fueler was on a great pass before it powered into a huge wheelstand around half track, and it unfortunately slammed down hard causing damage to the front half of the chassis. Thankfully Marcus was okay after the wild ride. The team is encouraged with their results, and plans are moving forward to have the chassis repaired for the Fall races. Check out this video of the pass submitted by John Semroska.
